CITV

After emailing the commissioner for CBBC, I thought I would do the same for CITV as that is the other big British kids digital channel. After researching into there commissioning web pages I found the following:

"CITV is the number one commercial children's channel. We commission and acquire a range of programmes aimed at children up until the age of about 11. When commissioning we do not tend to generally fully fund so co-pros are completely the norm here. We are looking to focus on shows for 4-9 year olds and live action and animation. It would be fantastic if we could put original, funny stuff on CITV; that would be a bold ambition fulfilled if that happened."

This is definately not the target we are looking at for 'Totally Maisy.' 'Totally Maisy' deals with teenage themes that are not appropriate for the ages of 4-9. So I have completely ruled out this channel.
While I wait for an email from the CBBC commissioner, I will research the digital channels of Nickelodeon and the Disney channel. Although these broadcast mainly American television programmes, I need to see if they have before broadcasted British shows. 

That will be my mission for this evening!
