Anyone getting sick of all these channels dedicated to Quizes, where you have to call in on a premium phone line or premium text?
I've just noticed Men & Motors has now been removed in favour of a 24 hour a day quiz channel from ITV
from April on Freeview we'll have
ITV1 12AM - 5AM The Mint
ITV2 1AM - 4AM Quizmania
FTN 10PM - AM Quiz Night Live
The Hits - 2AM - 5AM Cash call
Quiz Call - 24H Quizzes
ITVPlay - 24H Quizzes
There's already a whole host of shopping and bidding channels on there.
What happened to good old fashioned entertainment!! :mad:

1, 7, 5, 99, 34 = ?
And some muppet phones in and says 2 or something equally stupid.
:mad:
It's those muppets that phone that keep all these channels going. ITV can easily make £20 million a year from the phone calls.
And the actual production costs are peanuts compared to making a drama or comedy. One camera man with his home camcorder, not need for editing and away you go.
But what is maddening is that it probably won't be 1+7+5+99+34. It will probably be something really naff and random like 1+7+5+9+9+3+4 or they will probably just play the "I'm thinking of a random number, what is it" game and give those 5 numbers to fool you.
Gah. I hate them
yay .. I certainly hope so.
I thought E4 showing people sleeping inthe big brother house for hours on end was as low and as boring as TV can get but those call in shows are the pits!! Even the shopping channels are better.
There should be stricter rules on what's allowed to be broadcast on freeview since it's probabaly the set to be the main replacement for analouge TV and the bandwidth is way more limited then on Sky TV.
It's shite otherwise.
