Closure
Carlton Kids was the first of five Carlton Communications channels to shut down, doing so on 31 January 2000. The channel had no mention of its closure, and after airing its final program aired a few advertisements and a promo of Discovery Kids coming to the UK, which would foreshadow Discovery Kids replacing Carlton Kids. ==References==
