Synopsis
Cashing in on the success of Channel 4's Quiz Call, ITV came up with their own gaming channel, principally made up of other channels gaming shows such as Quizmania, as well as home grown ITV spin-offs such as This Morning Puzzle Book and a quiz set in Coronation Street's Rovers Return.
It was interesting, but only because there seems to be a deluge of minor hosts from years past turning up to host, such as Emma Lee from Reactive and Simeon Courtie.
But the controversy surrounding the whole channel never did go away. Neither did it make much of a profit and thus, ITV plc caved in and closed it down for good just under a year later. The station had already been off air for a week whilst a review of ITV's premium-rate phone-ins was taking place
Trivia
Ironically on it's last full night of transmission (though we didn't know it at the time), a dismal new series called The Debbie King Show starring Quizmania presenter Debbie King (you see what they did there, clever isn't it?) began.
