are carlton going down? Posted Wed Jun 21 13:15:14 BST 2000 by johnny banana

Could this be the end of carlton starting? apparently in the "Carlton in trouble section" there are reports that central & westcountry may return but also Carlton has got rid of Carlton select, Carlton world & Carlton kids. Could this be the start of the end of Carlton hopefully

Don't think so. Carlton Select was replaced by longer hours of Carlton Food. Carlton World and Kids were closed down becuase OnDigital dropped them and there was no point keeping them on in some cable areas. Carlton Cinema is available on Cable now, and by all accounts is popular enough.

Carlton is here to stay, I'm afraid. I did really like Carlton Kids, y'know!

It was on 6am - to 5pm. OnDigital only. I can't say I watched it a great deal, but they had repeats of Bod, Crystal Tipps and Alistair and similar stuff. They also had The Simpsons on occasionally if I remember correctly. Carlton World had the odd good factual programme. Carlton Select (which used to share space with Carlton Food Network) had 'London Bridge' and 'The Good Sex Guide'. Not that I watched that.

If I dug out an old copy of the OnDigital Guide I could tell you more.

I bet all the good shows were made by either Central or Westcountry.

Very few shows were made by Carlton full stop. Most were archive repeats.

Carlton Food Network regularly includes Westcountry programmes (and even the odd Jenny Bristow programme from good old UTV).
