New ITV quiz channel slammed by fans who all have the same complaint
ITV bosses have released a new channel specifically tailored to gameshow lovers called ITV Quiz, which features programmes like Deal or No Deal and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
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.

Emmerdale star ‘struggled' filming soap's ‘weird' intimate moments as she breaks silence on sexy scenes
EMMERDALE star Roxy Shahidi has admitted she struggled filming intimate scenes on the soap. The actress - who played Leyla Harding in the ITV soap - has broken her silence on how she felt filming sexy scenes. 3 3 3 Speaking to former co-star Matthew Wolfenden, Roxy opened up about how she felt having to kiss her co-stars - and it's safe to say she's not a fan. Matthew said: "They decided to try to put David and Leyla back together — do you remember? — and we had to do a kissy scene. It was the weirdest thing, wasn't it? "Because it's alright when you're doing those scenes with... (people you don't know so well)." She said on their podcast The Celebrity Side Hustle Roxy said: "I really struggle with them, because I am someone, and I know it sounds daft as an actor because people listening will be saying, 'It's your job.' 'It is, and you do get on with it, but for me personally, I'm so weird about personal space. "I've just never felt comfortable with it." She added: "It's always made me anxious. "I always get a bit awkward, but the best way I found to deal with it is to almost choreograph it like a dance." The actress left the show in 2024, and bowed out after her character, Leyla was killed in the tragic limo crash. A source close to the telly star said at the time: "Roxy has adored her time on the soap and has made so many happy memories since first joining when she was 17. I was stunned when I found out my Emmerdale character Leyla Harding was going to die in limo crash… it was very tough, admits star Roxy Shahidi "The cast have become like family to her and she has grown so much as an actress, but now feels like the perfect time to spread her wings and try something new. "She is really excited about her meaty exit storyline, which will see her character Leyla die on screen. 'She'd rather go out in a blaze of glory and be remembered."
