CITV (formerly Children's ITV) was once a weekday children's block, then a stand alone channel as of 11 March 2006 to 1st September 2023. The abbreviation was adopted in April 1991 when Central regained the license to produce in-vision continuity links from Stonewall Productions and Tommy Boyd took over as regular presenter. Radio Times had added ITV, Channel 4 and satellite television to their programme guides by then. The word Children's was removed altogether in 1996.

At some point in the mid 90's, custom interstitials were made featuring 4 original characters: two cats (Abacat and Cheesy), a clock (Mr Clockface) and a cookie (Ruskman).

In Spring 2023, it was announced that the CITV channel would close its broadcasting in Autumn of the same year. Whilst it was rumoured that the closure would happen on the 31st of August, ITV announced that the channel was set to close on the 1st of September, to coincide with the end of the Summer School Holidays. On the 1st September 2023 at 20:59, the CITV Channel closed, in favor of ITVX Kids. However, the channel is now part of a brand new children’s block on ITV2 as of the 2nd of September 2023.
