Yea I get what you mean, Take it or leave it and It's Not What You Know were great shows along with many other challenge-made shows back when Flextech (Virgin Media Television from 2007 to 2011, now acquired by Sky) made many unique quiz shows and it's a shame that Sky aren't commissioning game or quiz shows and not even putting them as repeats on Sky Replay and then Sky Mix as if to test the waters for potential revivals on Sky Max (the new name for Sky One since 2021)
When Sky decides to finally close Challenge after the above, then I don't know what's going to happpen
Sky Replay is closing at the end of this month
I do wonder what the future of Sky Sci-Fi is as it hasn't aired anything new in a year with FROM moving to Sky Max and Revival airing on Sky Max
That's strange but why isn't Challenge getting the chop instead of Sky Replay as they should be keeping the channel for repeats of Sky Max shows but so should Sky Mix only mostly which airs stuff from Sky Nature. I think Sky Max should commission game/quiz show formats from producers such as IMG*, Stellify Media, Banijay, ITV Studios, All3 Media and other independent production companies and then air them on Sky Mix, not Challenge the following few days because many people say that The Chase is mostly what Challenge puts in the slots to cover up the abysmal gaps in the programming.
*TWI (now IMG) once produced the first 30 episodes of 1 series of Take It Or Leave It in the weeknight primetime slot in 2006. They also produced I'd Do Anything for BBC One in 2003, All*Star Cup for Sky One in 2005 before moving to ITV1 in 2006 (both series were produced by Ant & Dec's Gallowgate Productions and TWI) and they [IMG] produce Britain's Strongest Man for Channel 5 which had moved several times from the BBC to Sky in 2005, Sky to Five in 2006 where they had the rights to it until 2008 when it moved to Bravo (part of Virgin Media Television) for the 2009 and '10 events and then onto Challenge for the 2011-2013 events before being at Channel 5 for the 2014 events and onwards.
