Re: Challenge TV
That football match is just a one-off, as far as I'm aware. I agree that Challenge should morph into something else (or evolve, which is something I've been saying on this forum for ages).

Re: Challenge TV
Do they have any original shows at this point? You'd think they could produce something new (or even just voice it over, like TC) to keep the channel ticking over.

Re: Challenge TV
At the moment, no. Which is a massive shame, really.

Re: Challenge TV
Yeah, that's stupid. Maybe they truly have given up on it being at all original and are just riding the laziness for as long as it'll give them
What's the last original thing they made?

Re: Challenge TV
It was a show called Timeline, which aired in 2014.

Re: Challenge TV
Five years ago Challenge still had regular new and exclusive output like TNA, WrestleTalk and Videogame Nation. I wonder what caused Challenge to be reduced to just The Chase reruns and then some. Is it down to Sky having the final say on the channel's output which is also why they changed the social media team before they gave up.

Re: Challenge TV
I think Challenge will close - or at least extensively re-worked next year.
Sky could confirm the end of the operations after years of speculation about the future of the channel, which has hit the skids after the second imperial phase ended.
The broadcaster could ask the content department for ideas to fill the channel's EPG slots, but could leave open the possibility of a new version of Challenge staying on-air.
A revitalised Challenge including a possible new name could remain a strong contender to keep the EPG slots.
But there is a belief that the channel, which Sky has owned for ten years has had its day.
Sky could tell the team running Challenge, that it wants ideas for a completely new channel on the EPG slots. It could also ask for submissions from other staff working for the content department, and while Challenge will not formally be scrapped, it seems unlikely that the channel will survive beyond next year.
Other contenders for the Challenge's EPG slot include a gay channel, a black entertainment channel and a female lifestyle channel.
Does ScottGamer17 and DuffDan feel about my observations?

Re: Challenge TV
I see that Challenge have kind of resumed their social media activities.
https://twitter.com/ChallengeTV/status/1344785540747554817
The channel is stuck on the hut and there is no point of the return. By the way what ScottGamer17 and others think of my observations including my previous posts?

Re: Challenge TV
Today is Challenge's 24th anniversary. They got new show from ITV starting soon called Tenable although the channel still stuck in the hut with less vintage shows and lack of original commissions.
With most of the licenses of the shows set to expire in the near future I doubt that Challenge will celebrate 25th birthday next year.
What ScottGamer17 (where have you been) and others think of my observations including my previous posts?
