The Doctor Who writer was speaking at a BAFTA event on Tuesday, during which he also attacked the demonisation of young people, Licensing.biz reports.
Davies said: "Children's TV has all but disappeared from ITV, literally vanished from the schedules, and it's not coming back any time soon. We need to embrace what the BBC has.
"Something massive needs to be done - children's programming needs more money and it needs to urgently.
"Nothing is more important than our children. It is not nostalgic to remember something that was brilliant. It is remembering something that you loved."
He went on to comment on the success of the relaunched Doctor Who and suggested that lottery money could be used to support children's television.
