http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/ 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.

I anticipated a cultural experience with an hour or two of Pinter or Ayckbourn. You can imagine my surprise on tuning in to find a pair of chavs asking me to phone up to guess how many sides there are on a triangle! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3472688 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST The Isle of Man TT races are a very important event in the motorcycling calendar. It is therefore incomprehensible that ITV should choose to replace the coverage of Men http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3464846 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST If i dont see men adn motors on there, there will be trouble http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3443972 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Grade is a twat http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3424731 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Scrap ITV Play and bring back Men and Motors! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3421452 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST bring back m http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3406640 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST i dont want to get sky just to see the tt races come on give us back our top channel http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3405226 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST how does this work then? a couple of dozen (idiot) callers calling in to ITV Play a night paying premium rates with next-to-no non-players watching your adverts. OR. a few million viewers (ex-pats around Europe too) watching good shows, both old and new AND the adverts to keep ITV happy (e.g. the advertisers happy!). http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3346343 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST ITV Play is another example of filling our TV with money grabbing rubbish http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3339680 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST how long does it take 4 the powers above 2 decide 2 bring back men and motors http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/menandmotors/#sig3238588 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST ITV Play has now gone.
