Carlton World was an early Carlton channel carried on cable and ONdigital channel 34. It timeshared with Carlton Kids and RAW!, and was the sister channel to Carlton Cinema, Carlton Food Network and Carlton Select All of the Carlton-branded channels were closed by 2003.
Carlton World showed the majority of entertainment programmes produced or commissioned by Carlton and its merged companies, including Central Independent Television and Westcountry Television, however it was not unusual for programmes from other ITV network companies to be featured on the channel. It was carried on both analogue and digital cable prior to ONdigital's launch.
The channel was closed in 2001 due to poor viewership and financial difficulties. On Carlton's television platform, ONdigital, the capacity was replaced by a timeshare of Discovery Kids and Discovery Wings. Carlton Kids closed the same day.
Carlton Television has since merged with Granada Television and has formed ITV plc. Programming from Carlton World has been absobed into ITV plc's Digital Channels.
