This has annoyed me! What a complete waste of time!
Not to mention two of the most talentless hosts ever who clearly don't get on with each other.
This is on Ftn now and I take it every night... I mean, what is the point of this channel anymore other than making money? Thomas flaming Cook TV takes up 2 hours and this Quiz Night Live now fills up the 10 til 1am slot.
'Find the bands beginning with the letter 'B' ?' Where? What am I looking at...??
I'm sorry but this whole 'quiz' malarky is pretty much the equivelent of TV SPAM!
BRING BACK the programmes!
Come on? Even continuous repeats of Bob and Margaret are better than this trash!

Thomas Cook TV has been cut down to an hour, but it does mean FTN are only broadcasting really from 7pm-10pm - which as a showcase channel for the Flextech network is appalling.
I think like many digital channels when you first get it for a few months it's quite good to see content previously restricted to subscription viewers - but after a few months the schedule becomes repeats of repeats of repeats.
There is the odd gem though, and I have found myself more likely to tune into FTN at 11pm at night than ITV2 or ITV3.

Is there any way of complaining that this channel is betraying its remit? I mean, it's bad enough Men And Motors has a QuizCall/BigGameTV style show every day at 4pm, and that ITV2/3 goes to BigGameTV when the schedulers can't be arsed, and that we've got a whole Quiz channel taking up valuable space on Freeview anyway. So for a Flextech barker channel designed to showcase the best of Challenge/Living/Trouble and Bravo to suddenly turn into this dross, just takes the biggest mickey ever.

Well you can report it to OFCOM but I dare say they'll tell you to complain to Flextech who'd tell you that its a general entertainment channel and there's nothing to stop them filling Ftn up with Quiz Night Live.
Mind you most of the Flextech channels have strayed off their original launch intentions at some point; Challenge went down the reality TV route at one point; Living TV was originally a women's channel (before it relaunched and commissioned Most Haunted) and Bravo's now in two minds about whether it wants to be a sports channel or not. Trouble's intended audience seems to change every month.
Ftn's never really been any good since it launched in my opinion; its always looked like it doesn't want to be broadcasting, hence its being propped up by Thomas Cook TV every night to justify its existance on Freeview.

Quiz Night Live is just appalling and it does the channel no justice whatsoever.
