Children's ITV

Kinsey first appeared on Children's ITV in July 1991, to present their summer mornings service, which ran from 9:25 am to 12:30 pm each weekday throughout July and August. He also stood in for the Children's ITV afternoons service presenter, Tommy Boyd on several occasions, one of which was the week before Christmas in 1991. There was no Children's ITV summer mornings service from 1992 onwards, so Kinsey didn't return to Children's ITV until late 1992, following Boyd's departure. Kinsey took over presenting in the afternoons from December 1992 to 12 February 1993. He left Children's ITV in February 1993 though, after the new Children's ITV controller,
