CITV

CITV (short for Children's ITV) is a British television channel from ITV Digital Channels Ltd, a division of ITV plc. It broadcasts content from the CITV archive and acquisitions, every day from 6am to 6pm. CITV is also the title of a programming block on the ITV network at weekends.

Children's ITV launched on 3 January 1983, as a late afternoon programming block on the ITV network. It replaced the earlier Watch It! branding and introduced networked in-vision continuity links between programmes. These links were originally pre-recorded from a small London studio, up until 1987 when Central won the contract to produce live links from their Birmingham studios. In 2004, presentation of CITV was relocated to Granada Television in Manchester, which saw the demise of in-vision continuity. Nine years later, operations moved to MediaCityUK in Salford.

In 2006, CITV launched as a channel in its own right. The CITV channel averages around 100,000 viewers between 4pm-6pm every day. The CITV strand on the ITV network airs on weekend mornings from 6am to 9:25am, as part of the ITV Breakfast time slot.

    Australia

    by: Steve Howe

    Play the halls
    See the stalls tonight
    Open roads the like
    Across the dateline change will never strike
    Australia lies ahead
    Australia, we head for the mainland
    Clutching our gifts from the East
    Only to find out
    Planes and the highways
    STrain the paths and the by-ways
    Remain, still it's leading me
    Closer to you
    Australia, we're leaving you behind
    Australia, we're taking the easy way out
    From now on
    "Come to," can't get away from ya still
    "Come to, we'll take good care of ya."
    Australia, you save your face while fashions slip
    Australia, you're balanaced between
    The powers' tightening grip
    I've been to, it's a long way for ya still
