Major channel replaced on millions of Sky Q boxes TODAY plus three more big changes all viewers need to know
SKY Q viewers may notice a channel has been replaced on their boxes today.
The move also affects other TV platforms, including Sky Glass, Virgin Media and Freeview to name a few.
1
Monday marks the launch of ITV Quiz, the UK broadcaster's new destination for all its much-loved game shows.
The channel appeared on screens this morning, starting with an episode of word game Lingo.
Other favourites including Wheel of Fortune, Tipping Point, Tenable, Deal or No Deal and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? are set to be shown on the channel too.
However, fans of The Chase will be disappointed to see that it's not on the schedule at all during launch week.
Fortunately, the programme has its own dedicated channel with back-to-back episodes on ITVX instead.
ITV Quiz has come about due to massive changes at the broadcaster as it looks to save money.
This means, ITVBe is no more after over ten years on air.
Huge reality series like The Only Way is Essex and will live on over at ITV2 - which was TOWIE's original home until ITVBe launched in October 2014.
ITV Quiz will take the same slot on TV guides as ITVBe.
That's 131 on Sky satellite, 125 on Sky Glass / Stream, 119 on Virgin Media and 28 on Freeview.
MORE SKY CHANGES
There are more changes on Sky today - though these will only affect Sky Cinema subscribers.
As part of regular refreshes, Sky Blockbusters, Sky Pitch Perfect and Sky Family are all disappearing.
In their place will be Sky Hits, Sky Comedy and Sky Fantasy respectively.

Other big changes across the company mean more than 220 jobs are set to be axed across ITV 's daytime shows.
This will affect Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, Loose Women and This Morning.
Next year, production teams working behind the scenes will be merged for the latter three shows to save money, as well as moving to a new studio.
Loose Women and Lorraine will only air 30 weeks of the year instead of all 52 weeks.
Reports suggest Loose Women may lose its studio audience too.
Lorraine Kelly's morning show will also be cut from an hour long to just 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, Good Morning Britain will be produced by ITV News at ITN from 2026 moving to its studios in central London.
ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full
Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily.
Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am.
This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year.
Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
The changes will take effect from January 2026.

Love Island in biggest launch episode shake up yet as first show sees never-seen-before twist
LOVE Island has found itself in the biggest launch episode shake up yet, as the first show sees a never-seen-before twist. As the show gets underway for the first episode of the summ er series, the girls enter the villa in pairs, all very keen to meet the boys. 3 3 But host Maya Jama arrives to announce that things are going to be different this year. The stars line up, and in front of them they can see six hearts with short dating profiles of the boys - including name, age, height, job, and then a playful line about their dating styles and hopes for the future. The girls then have to decide, based on the profiles, who they'd like to couple up with. They have a bit of time to chat, before Maya counts to three and the girls run over to the hearts, each picking one boy each. It's at this moment that the boys come out to discover who they've been coupled up with. It's set to be an explosive start to Love Island this series, as a girl has already been booted out of the Love Island villa in the series' first savage twist. Host Maya Jama has said the summer will be packed with big surprises - and this is the first. The female Islander was 'absolutely gutted' to be first out and has already left the villa after the early shake-up. But viewers have been warned this won't follow the usual Love Island playbook. Love Island shock as girl is dumped from show in most brutal launch twist EVER A source said: 'This girl will be sorely missed as was already proving to be a big character. She was absolutely gutted to leave. 'But the series has twists and turns at every stage and this isn't the usual dumping viewers might expect after a bombshell arrives. 'Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter has promised drama for the tenth anniversary and this format point will not disappoint.' The must-watch first episode will kick off tonight on ITV2, ITVX and on YouTube, with plenty going on. It comes after bombshell Antonia Laites - who will be known as Toni - strutted into the Sun revealed the Las Vegas pool party waitress was the first sexy bombshell to arrive this series. 3

Yoshitomo Nara review: cutesy terrors swear, smoke, play guitar and burn down houses
There's a video online of 100 kids playing football against three adult pros. The kids get absolutely annihilated. But they'd do a whole lot better if they were more like the menacing, knife-wielding little terrors who populate Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara's world. Try dribbling past a toddler when he's just jabbed a shiv in your calf, Lionel Messi. For 40 years now Nara has been dealing in cutesy kitsch with a vicious edge. His paintings and drawings of adorably bug-eyed little nippers are singularly Nara: love it or hate it, he's carved out his own instantly recognisable aesthetic path. Me, I quite like it. It's full of punk rock attitude, dark humour and comic book immediacy. This huge show at the Hayward kicks off with a ramshackle shed in the middle of the gallery, filled with empty beer cans, coffee cups and hundreds of drawings on paper and cardboard. A speaker blasts out rock'n'roll and folk classics by Nick Drake and David Bowie. A painting on the outside shows a blissed out little kid in a serene green field: 'place like home', it says in big bold all-caps. The huge wall opposite is lined with old prog and rock LPs. This could've been the whole show and it would have been perfect; it's everything Nara needs to say. Here in this little wooden shack sanctuary he loses himself in music and draws his heart out. The images all over the floor show punk-rocking kids blasting out chords on electric guitars, protesting against war and shooting pistols while standing on a snarling dog, yelling 'I'm a son of a gun'. It's Nara summed up: a joyful mashup of music nerdery, political anxiety and the uncontrollable urge to draw, draw, draw. You get the sense that if his career had started and ended in this shack, no success, no big museum-style shows, just music and art, he'd have been pretty happy. But this is a big show so there's a lot more to get through. His early work is more expressionistic and dark, a little more scrawly and angry, like a pissed off Basquiat, or George Grosz drawing comics. But by the mid-90s he'd figured himself out and stripped everything back. His cartoon-y grumpy kids now sit against plain backgrounds, there's nothing to distract you from them as symbols of Nara's emotional states: boredom, anger, loneliness, sadness, frustration. That's all that's here, emotion pure and simple. A little girl with a bandaged face is livid about having the mumps, a figure (dressed as kitty) sitting on duck-shaped potty is seriously angry that you're having a peek, and the world's naughtiest child is grinning demonically after cutting a flower down with a saw, a big 'fuck you' painted on the back of her jacket. It's super-direct, simple, funny, emotional painting. Nara repeats this approach over and over across the years. His figures burn down houses, swear, smoke, brandish weapons, play guitars. It's the punk rebellion of youth continuing to find a voice. The kids resemble a take on forest sprites, little mythological figures used to tell stories, express emotions. It's not all angry self-reflection. More recent work finds Nara fighting for peace. One girl wears a 'no war' T-shirt, another stands under a massive 'stop the bombs' banner. Things change in 2011, when the tragedy of Fukushima sends Nara spiralling. Now the kids are all hazy and heartbroken. They're not ranting and raving any more, they just seem to haunt the canvases, barely there, sad and forlorn. I don't think these are good paintings for the most part, despite being about something incredibly sad: they're just too washed out and overthought, a bit mawkish and soft focus. And there's something not quite right about giving these big canvases all this space, and these benches for you to contemplate them from, in a show that's otherwise all chaos and energy. I'm not totally convinced the work warrants this many rooms. It all gets a bit repetitive and stretched. And the ceramic heads dotted around the space, especially the tea cup fountain at the end, add absolutely nothing to the exhibition. But the best work here can be so joyful, approachable, angry and relatable that you can forgive these faults. Nara is best when he's being direct and immediate, when his art is about rocking out, fighting back and letting his heart spill on to the canvas. When he's hey ho-ing and let's going like his beloved Ramones. I've never encountered a show less in need of explanatory wall texts, or more resistant to artsy over-intellectualising: Nara tells you exactly what he feels, all the time. He just does it with the stereo blasting, and a knife behind his back. At the Hayward Gallery, London, from 10 June to 31 August

Zoe Ball struggles with her shopping trolley during windswept trip the supermarket in Brighton
Zoe Ball was left struggling with her trolley as she took a trip to the supermarket in windy Brighton on Monday. The Radio 2 DJ, 54, tried desperately to stop her shopping from rolling away after stocking up on essentials as plants ready for summer. Zoe cut a low key figure on the outing in a pink hoodie which she teamed with jeans and a pair of comfy trainers. The TV personality also sported aviator glasses and gold earrings as she was spotted putting her purchases in the boot of her car. Zoe sold her £2M country home last year and moved to a townhouse between Brighton and Hove, close to ex-husband DJ Norman Cook, the father of her two children, from whom she separated in 2016. 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. Together the former couple, who divorced in 2020, share son Woody, 24, and 14-year-old daughter Nelly. Last week Zoe revealed she was suffering from a new health condition, shortly after after making her Radio 2 comeback. She gave her listeners an update on her wellbeing as she spoke on her show and revealed she has been diagnosed with bursitis. Bursitis is when the fluid-filled sacs (bursa) that cushion the joints have become painful and swollen. It comes after last year she revealed she had been battling another painful health condition - TMJ (temporomandibular joint) - after announcing her departure from her Breakfast Show host role. At the time she said she was quitting her breakfast show to 'focus on family' and then also had to face the health condition which causes bad headaches. Speaking about her bursitis this weekend on her show she said: 'Yes, it's come to that. Fifty-four and I got bursitis.' Despite the pain she has still been training with her personal coach, Seth, in a bid to improve her strength. 'Thank you to Seth,' she said on the show. 'I found out I've got a… what is it? A rating of… was it a four or five on the fitness level? 'I was quite impressed with myself - out of, I think it's nine or ten. You've gotta start somewhere, haven't you?'. It comes after Zoe returned to her new Saturday afternoon show on BBC Radio 2 in early May after previously taking a step back to focus on time with her family. The star stepped down from her breakfast show in December to 'focus on her family,' bidding farewell to her £950,000 salary. Reconnecting with her listeners she announced: 'Hello it's me, oh it's lovely to be back on a Saturday. 'This is where it all began for me back when I used to sweep up and make the teas.' Happy to see the star's return, a viewer wrote: 'Great to have you back, Saturday afternoon is much better than having to wake up early.' She proceeded to read out some other well wishes she then added: 'It is lovely to be here thanks for all your messages'. After six years at the helm, Zoe handed her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show over to Scott Mills after stepping down to 'focus on family' just months after her mother Julia's death in April. Then in February, Radio 2 officially announced programme changes, including a new weekly show with Zoe (1-3pm on Saturdays). She will also be hosting two specials, including a BBC TV show celebrating Elaine Paige's 60-year career in showbusiness. Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, said at the time: 'Zoe is one of the UK's most loved presenters, so I'm thrilled to announce that she has a new home on Radio 2 on Saturday lunchtimes. 'Plus she'll be hosting various specials for us throughout the year.' What is bursitis? Bursitis is when the fluid-filled sacs (bursa) that cushion the joints have become painful and swollen (inflamed). It can usually be treated at home and should go away in a few weeks. You might have bursitis if 1 of your joints is: painful – usually a dull, achy pain tender or warmer than surrounding skin swollen more painful when you move it or press on it The area may also be red. This can be harder to see on brown or black skin. Bursitis can affect any joint, but it's most common in the shoulders, hips, elbows or knees.
