New ITV quiz channel slammed by fans who all have the same complaint
ITV's brand-new quiz channel has already come under fire just hours after its launch by viewers who are calling for a scheduling shake-up. ITV Quiz launched on Monday, June 9, and offers a range of game shows that are broadcast over an impressive 16 hours a day.
Viewers can watch classics and recent hits like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, Wheel of Fortune, Tenable, Lingo, Tipping Point, and Deal Or No Deal between 9am and 1am. But despite the star-studded line-up and round-the-clock quiz content, viewers have voiced their disappointment online over the channel's repetitive scheduling and lack of variety.
One X user hit out: "ITV Quiz is dire, it needs retro ITV game shows not just modern, challenge tv." Another chimed in, saying: "Too much same schedule episodes of same shows together too often, need more variety!! Aussie version of The Chase be good addition."
A few other viewers suggested ITV should diversify the line-up with international versions of popular shows. One wrote: "ITV get Aussie version of The Chase and other countries' versions of other game and quiz shows in schedule, so not just all repeats of UK versions. Such mass options of alternative versions of shows available to fill the daily schedule that aren't even on ITVX."
Someone else said ITV bosses should bring back Quizmania, which was an old favourite in the early 2000s. ITV's official announcement about ITV Quiz described the channel as "promising the very best in game show entertainment from the iconic classics to recent hits and with an array of star-studded quizmasters at the helm, including Graham Norton, Stephen Mulhern, Warwick Davies, Mel Giedroyc, Jeremy Clarkson and more.
Their statement added: "Whether it's trivia games, picture games, parlour games, general knowledge or simply luck and chance, ITV Quiz has something for everyone from the devoted trivia buff to the casual quizzer."
Viewers can find ITV Quiz on Freeview channel 28, Freely 22, YouView 28, Freesat 119, Sky Q 131, Sky Glass 125, Virgin 119, and it's also available for streaming on ITVX.
Some of the game shows available on the new channel include Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, hosted by Jeremy Clarkson since 2018, Deal Or No Deal, presented by Stephen Mulhern since its 2023 revival, and Wheel of Fortune, fronted by Graham Norton following its 2024 comeback.
The launch of ITV Quiz comes just days after the closure of popular reality-focused channel ITVBe, which had entertained viewers since 2014 with shows like The Only Way Is Essex and Real Housewives.
Those programmes have now moved to ITV2, which is strengthening its line-up with returning hits such as Big Brother and Love Island alongside fresh commissions.
ITV described the changes as part of a "supercharged ITV2 offering" aimed at bringing the network's best-known reality series and newer content to the UK's biggest digital channel for 16-34 year-olds.

Dancing With The Stars delivers elimination shock as audience-voted twist sees Aussie icon sent home
The curtains have closed for yet another beloved, big-named Aussie celebrity on Dancing With The Stars. After a special episode celebrating the kings and queens of song and dance, TV royalty was sent packing with a paso doble that lacked enough punch for the audience. Rebecca Gibney danced for the last time on the Channel 7 show on Sunday, earning 28 points as she took to the floor to Whitney Houston 's Queen of the Night. Judge Mark Wilson was pleasantly surprised by the Gold Logie winner's improvement since her last performance, however, pointed out that she lacked paso body shapes, which ultimately put her at peril on the leaderboard. The Bachelor 's Brittany Hockley had temperatures rising in a steamy tango to Kylie Minogue 's Padam Padam, scoring herself 33 points and a big hoorah from the judges. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Mark was so impressed by Brittany's quick adaptation to the ballroom style that he gave her his royal wand of approval. However, it was boxing star Harry Garside that floored Judge Sharna Burgess as he performed a sexy rumba to John Farnham's A Touch of Paradise in a half-buttoned silk shirt. His hard work, dedication and sensuality on the dance floor earned him kudos with Sharna and 25 points on the board, but Craig Revel Horwood wasn't as impressed, adding that he felt his dancing was disconnected. 7NEWS presenter Michael Usher was the picture of grace as he suited up and took on the Viennese waltz to Adele's One and Only. Earning a solid score of 29, Craig praised Michael for bringing class to a known-to-be-tricky dance format. Helen Richey had audience members blushing as she flirted with AFL icon Trent Cotchin, who was Elvis for the night in a rocking and rolling Jive. Donning his own blue suede shoes and a sparkly blazer to match, Trent topped the leaderboard with 35 points after all four judges were left in awe over his performance. Even hard-to-please Craig gushed that he 'loved it', which no doubt elicited a nation-wide gasp. Boxing star Harry Garside (pictured) floored Judge Sharna Burgess as he performed a sensual rumba to John Farnham's A Touch of Paradise in a half-buttoned silk shirt After our beloved celebrities had left their all on the dance floor, the studio audience's votes were combined with the judges' scores to reveal a new ranking. Much to his relief - as well as judge Sharna's - Harry was lifted from rock bottom of the leaderboard, and we instead said goodbye to Rebecca. The Flying Doctors alum thanked her dance partner Ian Waite for an unforgettable experience on the show, while raving about the magic behind the scenes of the series. 'The amount of work that goes into this show. The costumes are amazing and the makeup is amazing,' she gushed. 'Everyone from the judges, the production crew and everyone behind the scenes – it's mindboggling how extraordinary everyone is and I'm going to miss it,' she admitted. Last week, another celebrity twirled off the Dancing With The Stars dance floor for good. In a surprise twist, TV presenter Karina Carvalho was sent home, becoming the second contestant to be eliminated from the hit Channel Seven competition. Dancing With The Stars continues on Seven on Monday at 7.30pm

ITV Emmerdale fans call for 'tedious' storyline to end
Those who watch the ITV soap have been discussing the plot surrounding Joe Tate and the recently returned Dr Crowley. The pair has a previous history together as part of Joe's previous kidney transplant story. Now, the doctor, played by James Hillier, has returned to seek revenge. A post shared by Emmerdale (@emmerdale) James Hillier's character last appeared on the ITV soap back in March. Joe was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and hired the shady doctor to treat him and secure him a kidney transplant. After Joe's paternal half-uncle, Caleb Miligan, was found to be a donor match, his kidney was taken after he was stabbed. Following this, Dr Crowley transplanted it into Joe before fleeing the country, and that was the last heard from him... until now. Having returned to the soap this week, Joe was knocked unconscious and woke up in a makeshift hospital room to find Crowley. He revealed that he gave Joe an epidural and "numbed the lower spine, along with the upper, near the base of the skull", meaning Joe was left paralysed. It was revealed that Shaun, who arrived with Joe's laptop, had been secretly working for Crowley. Despite originally refusing, following the threat of torture, Joe reveals the passwords and Shaun transfers £105,000 to Crowley's account. Following Dr Crowley's return on the ITV show, fans have been discussing the ongoing storyline, and some are not impressed. It's that time again… the Inside Soap Awards 2025 are here - and the Village needs you! 💚 If you've loved the drama, cast your votes and show Emmerdale your support! 👉 Vote here: A post was made on the r/Emmerdale Reddit page, saying: "Ok Emmerdale, it's time to wrap up this Joe Tate Dr storyline, it's getting very boring...." Some fans on the thread agreed, with one saying: "Joe and the stories around him are so badly written and acted. So..... well, mind-numbingly tedious to sit through." Another said: "Yeah and I agree with you." Others have taken to social media to also criticise the story, with one fan saying: "I love Emmerdale I do but this is a bit extreme this storyline." Recommended reading: Others, however, are enjoying it, with one saying: "I'm loving seeing the Dr make Joe's life hell." A second said: "There is a part of me that loves this story because it's so wonderfully soapy." Emmerdale is available to watch live and on demand via ITV and ITVX.
