ITV Quiz launched this morning (June 9) at 9am on channel 28 – the former home of ITV Be – that closed yesterday after 11 years.
The channel will air popular game shows such as Lingo, Wheel of Fortune, Tenable, Deal or No Deal and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
It will run from 9am to 1am every day.
An ITV spokesperson said: “ITV Quiz promises the very best in game show entertainment from the iconic classics to recent hits and with an array of star-studded quizmasters at helm including Graham Norton, Stephen Mulhern, Warwick Davies, Mel Giedroyc, Jeremy Clarkson and more.
“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.”
The channel should appear automatically, but some TV setups may need retuning depending on how old they are.
Has ITVBe been removed from Freeview?
It was announced back in April that ITV Quiz would be replacing ITVBe, which was known for being the home of reality TV series such as The Only Way is Essex.
TOWIE and other shows that were broadcast on ITVBe such as The Real Housewives franchises will now be shown on ITV2 instead.
The move comes as a number of hybrid streaming channels are now more widely available on Freeview.
