ITV in major schedule shake-up as Tipping Point and The Chase move to new slots

dailystar.co.uk:

Tipping Point and The Chase fans have been baffled over the programmes’ scheduled times due to a massive schedule reshuffle.ITV’s Tipping Point, presented by Ben Shephard, is shown on the channel at 4pm on weekday afternoons.Due to the change in schedule, which is assumed to be down to the Bank Holiday weekend which runs from Saturday 30 April to Monday 2 May, Tipping Point will be shown at 5pm instead.The game show will air after Tenable, presented by actor Warwick Davis, where five contestants compete to complete a list of top ten answers around general knowledge subjects.Prior to the game show omnibus, ITV will show Universal’s Despicable Me 2 from 2pm.After Tipping Point concludes at 6pm, the ITV Evening News, Regional News and Weather Forecast will broadcast until 6:30pm.Then Bradley Walsh will take over with The Chase, which will run for an hour until Emmerdale at 7:30pm, closely followed by Coronation Street half an hour later at 8pm.After Monday 2 May, the broadcaster will return to its usually scheduled programming.A similar time slot shake-up was made earlier this year during Easter weekend which saw both game shows moved from their usual space in the schedule.Lingo was also moved, which has since been replaced by Tenable, but ITV have since urged viewers that filming for the show’s third series is currently underway.Tipping Point, which has been going since 2012, has recently celebrated its 10th birthday and producers decided to try out something new in celebration.Instead of the usual four contestants attempting to try their hand at Ben’s quick fire general knowledge questions, only three will battle it out against the host in hopes of trying their luck against the machine.Tipping Point’s spin off show,.
