ITV2 Start-Up, July 1999

In the early days of ITV2 it used to start at 4.00pm weekdays and 9.25am at weekends, here's a weekend start-up after GMTV2 closes down for the day. At this point on ITV2, CITV would dominate most of the daytime schedule.

As for weekdays, what would be shown before 4pm? Also GMTV2 was shown on weekdays too? Thanks :)

1) GMTV2 was 7 days a week, 6-9.25am

2) Between 9.25am and 4pm on weekdays all that was shown was the ITV2 programme menu.

Totally agree- I was just explaining to jamesdelboy why citv wouldnt fit onto itv2 these days, where it did 10 years ago

[steviegTVreturns]

Don't forget in 1999 there wasn't as much competition, only a handful of homes had Sky/Cable/DTT etc. We now have ITV3 and ITV4 which techically we used to have squeeze onto ITV2, where as now the archives, sports programmes and men's stuff have their own channel, and I think for that ITV is better off for it.

The problem is that the itv2 of 2009 is a very different beast from the itv2 of 1999. 10 years ago it was a general family entertainment channel designed to compliment itv1, now its a channel for women aged 16-34 and citv wouldnt really fit

[jamesdelboy]

Now CiTV should still be on ITV2 since ITV1 stopped Citv in the afternoons
