ITV

The ITV network is not owned or operated by one company, but by a number of licensees, which provide regional services while also broadcasting programmes across the network. All companies holding a licence were part of ITV plc, which commission and schedule network programming. All licensees have the right to opt out of network programming (except for the national news bulletins). ITV plc commissions and schedules network programming, awarded franchises and had a great influence over schedules, content and technical standards. All transmitters are owned and operated by Arqiva

As a public service broadcaster, the ITV network is obliged to broadcast programming of public importance, including news, current affairs, children's and religious programming as well as party election broadcasts on behalf of the major political parties and political events, such as the Budget. The network also needs to produce accessible output containing subtitles, signing and audio description. In exchange for this programming, the ITV network is available on all platforms free to air and can be found at the top of the EPG of all providers.

ITV Night Time were names given to the overnight (usually between 12 to 6 am) schedule of the ITV network in the United Kingdom. The first ITV company began 24-hour broadcasting in 1986, with all of the companies broadcasting through the night by the end of 1988. At first, individual companies created their own services, however before too long, many of the smaller ITV station began simulcasting or networking services from others. From this, numerous services began each offering their own distinct take on programmes, with regions taking one of the services on offer.

Ninja Warriors
A physical obstacle assault course game show. The show was based upon the format of Japanese game show Sasuke, created by Ushio Higuchi, which was aired in the United Kingdom and other countries as Ninja Warrior. Presented by Ben Shephard and Chris Kamara, the show focuses on around 250 contestants tackling a variety of obstacles along an assault course, the most notable being the "warped wall", and achieving a fast time or going the furthest to qualify for the semi-finals and the finals, with the competitor who goes furthest fastest in the final being declared "Last Ninja Standing". If a competitor completes the final obstacle, "Mt Midoriyama" in under 45 seconds, they will be declared winner of the contest and crowned "Ninja Warrior UK".

The Krypton Factor

 * Hosted by Phillip Schofield
 * The Krypton Factor lasts for 30-minutes and is the only ITV show that does not go to an ad-break

Contestants from across UK and Ireland competed in 6 rounds that tested their physical stamina and mental attributes. The title of the show is a reference to Superman's home planet Krypton, the title perceiving that the contestants had strong superhuman "powers" for taking part in the challenges they were set. The contestants all had their own corresponding colour, either red, green, yellow or blue. The points contestants earned through the game were not referred to as their score, but as their "Krypton Factor", e.g. "The winner, with a Krypton Factor of 46, is the legal secretary from Kent, Mike Berry".

Round 1: Mental Agility
Contestants individually complete this round in an isolation booth referred to as "The Kube", 40-second speed test and their heart rates were also measured while they took the test only using the tiebreaker rules when there is a tie for first place.

Round 2: Response
Consisted entirely of flight simulator tests, positions were based on who had the best landing and flight.

Round 3: Observation
This round often involved watching a specially made film clip or a clip from an ITV drama series that was being broadcast at the time, or an edited together clip from a feature film which was out in that particular year, contestants answer 6 multiple-choice questions relating to the clip (e.g. "What did he say when he entered the room?" or "What was on the table?"), and the time used to provide the correct answers was used to break ties.

Round 4: Physical ability
This pre-recorded segment involved the contestants racing to complete an army assault course located at Holcombe Moor in Bury, Greater Manchester. This round typically included 20 obstacles including vertical and flat cargo nets, rope swings, water jumps, Burma rope bridges, and a rope slide into water with all 4 contestants competing at the same time. Female contestants were allowed a head start over their male competitors. Gordon Burns stated in some of the episodes that the contestants trained for the assault course in the Physical Ability round for up to 5 weeks in advance

Round 5: Intelligence
A 2 or 3-dimensional puzzle where shapes had to be put together to fill a rectangular grid or make a bigger shape was the basis for this round. Most of these were devised by Dr. Gerry Wickham of the University of Manchester's School of Mathematics. As the contestants performed the task, presenter Gordon Burns provided a commentary to viewers at home on the contestant's progress and advice on how to solve the puzzle. The contestants do not see beforehand what the completed puzzle should look like.

Round 6: General Knowledge
A quick-fire question round with a varied time limit (which depended on the year) and only 1 player could answer each question. For most of the run this final round was conducted in darkness using a side shot of the four contestants lit in profile - when a contestant buzzed in, the remaining three players' spotlights would go out. A correct answer is worth 2 points, an incorrect answer means you'll lose 2 points, the round lasted 70 seconds.

The player with the highest Krypton Factor won the game, and in the event of a tie, the tied players were asked further questions until the tie was broken.

Songs of Praise
Religious programme that presents Christian hymns sung in churches of varying denominations from around the UK, originally on BBC until 2017.

Piers Morgan v Tommy Robinson feud controversy
Piers Morgan wanted the country locked down and chastised those who were against lockdowns and masks as "idiots" and "granny killers", Robinson criticised the comments in a Tweet and provided 'evidence' to support why he's against lockdowns and masks.

Morgan would respond "You're a repulsive, racist, far-right, Muslim-hating, conspiracy theorist imbecile who works for a website that says Sandy Hook was invented and yet I should believe you how exactly? Please now f*ck off", Robinson responded "Says the bloke who invented British soldiers torturing story, hacked dead people's phones, bribed police for information, bought £67,000 of shares before they were tipped, Told mental health abusers to man up, Slammed Ariana Grande for no reasons. Yet I'm the "imbecile", I crave your disapproval given, now how about you do everybody a favour; take your morale compass & grifting fat ass and f*ck off," he also followed it up by denouncing the "racist, far-right, Muslim-hating" claims and also the "conspiracy theorist that says Sandy Hook was invented" saying and showing 'evidence' that he did not in fact believe Sandy Hook was 'invented'. Both of Robinson's tweets (as well as Morgan tweet on Robinson) received thousands of retweets and likes, Clarkson (who punched Morgan) famously liked it himself.

Piers Morgan then went on Good Morning Britain and go on a 30-minute rant about him, calling him a 'scumbag, criminal, Nazi, domestic terrorist, criminal and spanner', the rant was strongly criticised and received thousands of complaints to Ofcom, Robinson would respond to the claims in a heated surly response on his official YouTube channel and end it by saying "See you in court Piers", Robinson would later officially file a 'defamation' court case against Piers Morgan. Morgan was taken off TV (but not fired) and replaced with Richard Madeley. Morgan would tweet that he wanted to 'bankrupt' and wanted Robinson's kids to 'starve', which received condemnation and Morgan later deleted the tweet, Robinson responded by saying "Thanks for making my case stronger and more evidence in my favour you thick fat t**t".

Piers Morgan would lose the case and had to give out more than £40 million worth of damages, ITV would officially fire Morgan as a result. Morgan blamed 'snowflake' Robinson for the firing and said he did not 'regret a word I said', Robinson responded by celebrating Morgan's firing, calling him a 'hypocritical grifting c**t" and telling him to "go to the retirement home where you belong".
