ITV have officially announced that on 19th April 2006 they will replace Men & Motors with a 24 hour Quiz Channel on Freeview. Men & Motors is a highly valued channel on the Freeview (DTT) platform and to replace it with a channel which will encourage viewers to call a premium rate number to solve a practically impossible puzzle to win a cash prize has angered many.

So why the big fuss?

Well we already have one 'participation TV' channel as the big networks like to call it on Freeview called Quiz call, in addition to this ITV already show late night quiz programming after 12PM on ITV1 and ITV2 in blocks running up to 5AM. Freeview's limited capacity means it can only hold a limited number of channels, and I personally feel that the Quiz genre of channels should not be eating into general entertainment channels which is what ITV propose to do by removing Men & Motors on the 19th of April. Men & Motors shows classic programming like The Sweeny and Minder as well as crime shows and motor related programming.
