I support this petition. i think m&m is great as magum is on it at 10 and 6 and i think it is a great shame. if they got rid of some of the adult channels instead of it then it would be alot better. also thier are plenty of quiz games as it is.

I support this petition. M&M actually has some quality programmes amongst the very little available worth watching on Freeview. ITV Play is just mindless, money grabbing rubbish which doesn't deserve the airtime. Listen to your customers for once. OnDigital / ITV Digital was screwed up, don't let Freeview go the same way.

Sad loss of a fantastic channel. I will miss the reality programmes such as 999 Frontline. Another pointless quiz channel is just what Freeview didn't need. The only winners of these quiz channels are the programme makers themselves who cash-in with premium rate numbers. Cheap television at its worst.

I support this petition. Why remove a great channel that millions watch to replace it with a channel that a couple hundred lonely people will "interact" with at 60p per minute. With all the technology at our disposal, could ITV Play not be added to the list so I can delete it rather than replacing a channel we watch frequently.

Replacing Men and Motors on FreeView with yet another 24 hour a day, send us your money “quiz” channel is utterly disgusting. ITV’s standards have been slipping for a long time now, but this is almost too insulting for words. I can almost hear the marketing consultant in-speak and mean-nothing-sounds-impor tant jargon ringing in my ears as I stare at the blank space where the only ITV channel actually worth watching now stands; ominously resigned to the sickening truth about the state of British television. It should be the duty of a so-called mature broadcaster to uphold certain standards in the free-to-air space, if only to keep the likes of Murdoch out. But instead ITV seem to be jumping feet first into the sort of content incredibly stupid people call innovative because their pockets are fit to burst with brainless morons who think that picking up the phone at 4 in the morning and trying for an hour to guess the name of a three letter vegetable beginning with ‘P’ passes for entertainment. It’s unforgivably pathetic. RIP ITV.

Well, that's one less channel on my EPG - Absolute ribbush waste of space will be going the same place as Quizcall or whatever it's called and the crappy shopping channels. M&M was actually quite watchable at times... ITV, you really are the lowest common denominator.

I loved the real-life shows on M&M like Trauma. ITV Play is just plain rubbish and which is essentially a gambling show should not be on TV for kids to access 24 hours a day. I wouldn't mind if they had replaced M&M with something that is actually good and not just some rip-off 'quiz' show featuring talentless 'hosts'. I hope ITV rots in hell. Oh BTW ITV your football graphics really do suck, the BBC have it sorted on that one.

I absolutely support this petition. I have emailed ITV to complain about this crazy decision, this was their reply: Thank you for your recent email. From the 19th April, ITV Play will take the slot currently being used by Men and Motors on Freeview. Men and Motors will continue to broadcast a strong schedule on Sky, Telewest and NTL. ITV has limited capacity on the Freeview platform and we have to take decisions based upon the capacity available. In this instance we believe ITV Play represents the best commercial use of this capacity on DTT. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused to our viewers. Regards DUTY OFFICE - GDL dutyoffice@itv.com I urge you all to email ITV directly with your complaint.....we can't let them get away with this!!

I support this petition. It's bad enough that channels like FTV are now replacing established programmes with these cheap, several-hours long, shows designed so that broadcaster can screw money out of its viewers without ITV coming along and creating channels *dedicated* to the irresponsible practice. More annoyed and outraged than I've ever been over what is *allowed* on the Freeview platform by the regulator and ITV Play will end up in the my receiver's recycle bin along with all the useless commercial tripe (ie. auction channels) that are a complete waste of Freeview resources too.

I support this petition. Men and Motors was my favourite channel. I quess the writing was on the wall when Cash quiz etc became part of the program time table. Personally I feel this is quite a grave mistake and i for one will not be watching or partaking in the new quiz channel. Is the revenue generated by advertising that poor that you need to can decent programs which, lets be honest, were mostly repeats. Repeats that people like myself thoroughly enjoyed! It is a shame that we will no longer be able to enjoy them with out a subscription.

I havent been this dissapointed since I noticed ITV had put tacky cheap crap quiz shows on all through the night on its ITV 1 and 2 channels and then to get rid of MM on freeview is awful why not just buy another channel placing and keep mm on, I for one will never ever look at itv quiz channels ever I hope others dont either. Any channel that shows aufwiedersehen pet is good in my book!
