New SVOD channel to offer intelligent quiz shows

March 2, 2018 10.43 Europe/London By Julian Clover

A new SVOD service plans to test our little grey cells with a library of intelligent quiz shows.

InQuisiTiVe Media has signed exclusive BBC Worldwide, Channel 4 and Banijay International for shows including Celebrity Mastermind, The Weakest Link and Only Connect.

Branded as IQTV a subscription will cost a monthly £3.49.

Rod Henwood, Co-Founder & Chairman, InQuisiTiVe Media said: “This is a unique proposition in the world of SVOD, addressing an important gap in the market. Intelligent quiz shows represent an attractive, untapped genre for a niche SVOD service. They have significant and very loyal audiences, their brands are enduring, their hosts are highly recognisable with a strong social media following, and they have had a relatively limited airing on multi-channel television.”

It will launch in the UK next July moving to other territories shortly afterwards.

There will also be the opportunity for viewers to play along through a built-in gameplay app – available on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and the web.
