Channel 4 is developing a new quiz station for launch later this year, the broadcaster has confirmed.
The new channel, which has the working name Call TV, follows the successful trial of an interactive strand called '9 Live' on E4 last year.
"We are looking at launching some form of call TV operation later this year," a C4 spokeswoman said yesterday.
She added: "We will probably go for a block of time and not a 24-launch and we haven't yet decided what platform it will go out on."
Call TV is expected to make use of one of Channel 4's many vacant spaces on Freeview. The broadcaster will have additional capacity from September, when Top Up TV's lease of the slot originally used to broadcast E4 before it went free-to-air expires.
