The Broadcaster could be preparing to put an end to list shows, despite the success some of these have encountered.
The decision came from the channel's new chief creative officer, Jay Hunt, in a bid to divert the money spent on these shows back to original programming, such as comedy.
However, Rude Tube, a list of viral internet videos present by Alex Zane is still likely to be kept. Another show listing the fifty worst marriages will also be shown during the month of April.
