Toonattik
Toonatik was the flagship children's strand of GMTV (known as CITV at weekends). It began on 5 February 2005 and was presented by Jamie Rickers and Anna Williamson. The strand aired on Saturdays and Sundays from 7.25am until GMTV's closedown at 9.25am. The original slot featured games, competitions and studio guests combined with the American imported cartoons. However on 6 March 2010 it was reported that Toonattik and Action Stations! presenters Jamie and Anna would be made redundant, as part of ITV plc's buyout of Disney's 25% share in GMTV. So on Sunday 9 May 2010, Jamie and Anna departed and from the following weekend, the slot re-launched with out-of-vision presentation. From that point Toonattik also featured British cartoons.
As of 12 March 2006, GMTV simulcasted Toonattik on the CITV channel during their allocated broadcast time, allowing younger Sky Digital, Virgin Media and Freeview viewers to access the show through the children's section of the EPG for the first time. Also, for the first time on the EPG it gave details for the programmes broadcast in the Toonattik time slot.
