Quizmania hasn't taken the whole night up. There's still some programmes. 12-1am and also after 3am some nights.
Have the people in this thread actually seen Quizmania, its nothing like most of those channels on Sky where the presenter just stares at the screen with lots of dead air

Course it is. It's just a better-funded and presented version of same.
The Power Hour (rock/heavy metal vids)
Chart Attack (similar to the Chart Show; I think the presenters included Neil Buchanan and Amanda Reddington)
Videopix (viewers' requests)
These were certainly shown on YTV and under the banner title of 'Music Box'.
BPM was indeed the show that replaced the Hitman & Her. By comparison, I found the "magazine" format of BPM somewhat
dull, and I'd never heard of almost all of the club/dance music featured on the program. I only ever watched the first edition.
I guess the music featured on BPM would've mostly been appreciated by those with more clubbing experience than me.
This is why I liked BPM over Hm&H.
I liked H&H because they occasionally had a record or an act on that was within my musical taste at the time (hardcore rave), such as Terrorize's 'Just a Feeling'. There were a couple of rave specials as well, 2 of which I have on tape. However, it was mainly just for your townie types, and that's always gone against my view of what clubbing is. I was only 17 when it finished myself, and I wanted to see more of what happened in the real clubland.
BPM, although a lot of it was focused on the house scene, did give me an insight into what it was like at a hardcore night. It was introduced by one of the members of MARRS, Dave Dorrell, so somebody with plenty of experience in the scene he was covering. It was a proper show about the music I liked, and you didn't get that kind of coverage with Dance Energy which only covered the more commercial side of things, and somehow replaced an excellent show called 'Behind The Beat', which was something to do with Dave Pearce (who was a lot more credible in those days than he is now).
Now, all you see on TV is a load of townies again, getting wrecked in Ibiza
