My reasoning for 1993 is for two reasons. Firstly they ditched in vision presenters that year and to top tit off, started introducing a plethora of extremely babyish programmes: Wizadora, Tots' TV, Rosie and Jim, Alphabet Castle (to name a few). As a 7 year old in 1993, that really annoyed me.
I see where you're coming from; it depends on age really as I was about 1 or 2 when Steve Ryde took over. At the moment, I think CBBC programmes have declined but many younger viewers would consider them good; it's merely because they can't compare to what I used to watch.
I'll have to agree with everyone here, CITV was much better then with plenty of imagination put into their work - compared to the rest of the ITV Network. ITV should emply them to spice up the ITV brand. It was around at a time we took it for granted. Sad but true.
I found it pretty ironic that Michael Grade stated that ITV1 is a "family channel". Well if it's a "family channel" then why scrap CITV and abandon children's programming altogether? Shoestring budget or not
Thanks for your comments. Like you we feel it is a shame what has happened to Children's TV, particularly with ITV's lack of vision or imagination for such an important audience.
I'm glad I got the chance to experience this when I was younger but now I hate that I'm getting older now

Pre 93?! I was born in 92!
I like anything from 98 to 04.

I'm sorry to burst everyone's bubble but this era of CITV was well after the decline in quality. Pre 1993 is the best era of CITV.

In my opinion, it was around 2001-02 when CITV started declining.

As for CITV now though, it's just plain shit.

1998-2004 is the best era of CiTV.

Whenever they changed to the CITV Channel the quality just nose dived.

We agree. Seems to be the trend though these days.

To be budget, you have to be spending money on it. They're clearly not spending anything on CITV anymore.
