And while the channel’s content is split evenly between animation and live action, Mortimer says access to the UK’s Young Audiences Content Fund will create more opportunities for live action moving forward. “As a UK producer with access to this fund, that puts us in pole [or lead] position,” he says. “We used to be a minority partner in an international co-pro, but we can be a majority partner now.”
<br>
<br>
For animation, CITV continues to look for international partners with a focus on 3D for younger audiences and 2D for older kids.
<br>
<br>
Overall, Mortimer says a key consideration for the team is whether or not a show has an existing fan base. With so much content available to kids, ITV is interested in IPs that are in some way familiar to the audience.
<br>
<br>
“You can still be incredibly creative with old IPs, old formats and old characters. You can bring things back to life, contemporize them and deliver them to a young audience in a way that looks fresh,” he says. </li> </ul>
