Challenge TV

SKY Seriously this channel desperately needs some tlc pumped back into it,

The legacy of the channel of what it once was has been lost.

It needs to be back on form with some NEW and vintage shows,

I mean right now as I type its currently showing David Dickensons Real Deal.

And then pretty much reruns of the chase.

Look at America they have a network GSN or game show network and its thriving with new shows.

 

If you don't have time or care for the channel then please sell it off to a company that's willing to put the time and effort into it.

It could be something to do with a contract with previous owners Virgin Media. Although ownership transferred to Sky in 2009, there may still be contractual rules Sky must follow. Unlikely, but possible. 

I also think it's down to copyright with BBC and ITV owning copyright to other gameshows.

Given that Challenge TV is free-to-air, realistically it's just not going to get anything like the same investment from Comcast/Sky Group as the Sky-branded subscription channels.

 

Whether it has any sale value is, perhaps, debatable.
