Inspired by a tier list a viewer created, I thought it would be fun to go through many of the channels seen in the Freeview EPG and rank them up! Which ones will emerge top of the pile? And which channels will come out at the bottom...? Find out in this tier list video!
Link to the Tier List is HERE!

One notable thing about Film4 is during daytime hours on weekdays, it shows older (mostly black and white) movies from the 40s to the 60s. That's pretty cool.

I'd swap Challenge and Dave (because I love the Brit humour more than gameshows) and would have crowbarred BBC2 and C4 into S-tier, but otherwise, pretty close to what I would have done. Still just about old enough to remember the launch of Channel 4. Always wondered what would have happened if the bits of the logo missed each other.

I can understand Adam's point around cooking shows being slightly outdated, with recipes mostly being available online for free in most cases. In my view the best cooking shows were also travel shows and showed audiences new cultures and peoples of the world. I still think those type of programmes have a place but maybe not, as Adam said, as a dedicated channel. But maybe I'm slightly biased given my love of food and travel. PS Love your work Adam, whenever your videos pop up on my feed I stop everything to watch them. Keep up the great work!

We need a tier list of the US and Australian channels

@bentheswitchsportsfan06 11 ай бұрын

Australian channels: would be cool US channels: it would be a goos idea, but I wouldn't like it cause everyone hates america and when americans post comments onto that video it would mostly be: "the world is better than america" or "i wish the us had these", which are 2 of my least favorite comments cause imo, while "i wish the us had these" is fine, i feel like they tend to promote anti-americanism, which unfortunately has been in it's prime since the 2020's began, and even more worse during the Biden era, which is quite sad since i heard that the election of Biden led to most countries coming back to a more positive view of the us (except russia, china, north korea, and others), however most of the hate during the biden era is sadly because of us americans 😢

I agree with CITV being B, but I feel like it would be A since I am a huge 90s' CITV fan (mainly because of finders keepers with the legendary Neil Buchannan, who i also saw on some art attack episodes 😊, and obviously the CITV GOAT, fun house, obviously because pat sharp is a legend and the twins are cute hehehe) (i also like the us versions of both, the us version of finders keepers has to be the best nickelodeon show in history, and fun house is like the most underrated US kids show and also it aired on both syndication and on FOX back when FOX what still young 😊). I wonder if there are any more 90s' CITV shows on KZfaq :D

BBC Three is still nowhere near as good as it was, but, Cuckoo series 1 was on Three not too long ago, Gavin and Stacey just finished re-airing, Two Pints of Larger and a Packet of Crisps is on Saturdays at 9pm, Fleabag is on Mondays at 10:30 or 11:30pm and Bad Education is on Thursdays at 9pm. BBC Three is nowhere near as good as it was, but I think it could be getting there, if they prioritise entertainment rather then shows such as I Kissed a Boy, or that glow up show.

This looks like a fun tier list to do, I do hope there is one with all the UK channels as it is one I would do for sure. Out of all these channels, the ones that means a lot to me are: CiTV, CBBC, POP, Tiny POP & POP Girl: Childhood Nostalgia, I would say for the same as KIX, but its rebrand to POP Max makes it a Waste of a Slot Channel 4 & E4: My main channel for teenage years was E4. While Channel 4 has Simpsons, and other good shows ITV2 - A recent one has it has the other Animation Domination shows ITV3 - Has Midsomer Murders and once aired Murder, She Wrote Film4 - Mainly for the Studio Ghibli movies Food Network - Like watching cooking shows 5USA - Like watching CSI & NCIS In regards to HGTV, it is a recent rebrand of the Home Channel.

In between the crap on ITV 2 which makes it waste of a slot there is some real gameshows, comedy, drama and animated comedy, films and documentaries hidden in there which makes it not so much. ITV 4 starts off with ITV 3 kinda stuff then airs any cycle, horse or motor racing highlights it has in the afternoon then your documented and Robot Wars USA Battlebots then highlights versions of the racing, or Monster Carp fishing then live darts currently whilst that is on replacing AEW with AEW shifted to a different day also replacing the action movie in the same slot on no AEW days.

No offence but I'd put Challenge much lower in the tier list as it feels like a horrifically cheap and boring version of Game Show Network and is of course a shell of its former self these days. I just feel as though you're extremely biased when it comes to game shows in general.

Challenge for me is too boring GSN is boring too but here's the good news (not for you sadly) In tne US we have this channel called Buzzr which is a digital tv network that's known for airing classic game shows from mainly the 70s 80s and 90s, with some 50s and 60s shows mixed in. Buzzr is basically what challenge did in it's prime (2000's-late 2010's)!! But i have an unfortunate problem with Buzzr... ....we dont have it on directv 😢 ( and sadly it can only be used on streaming services unless they have dish, which is ch. 245)
