I don't know how UKTV can get the branding right for the likes of Eden and Dave, yet 'W' is easily one of the worst rebrands ever.

"Sky Challenge"? "Sky Pick"? Seriously? Do they not know what their own channels are called?


Well, it's been ten hours since this was posted, and not a single local newspaper has published an article about an imminent Challenge rebrand.

Standards are slipping...

I get Pick, but why Challenge? Isn’t that a game show channel?

It's more relevant than the Sky News Royal Wedding special, which was repeated on there a couple of times the week after Kate & Will got hitched.

Wouldn't be surprised if it pops up on Made In <somewhere> as "Family channel to show football". Standards of the local channels are lower than a bar buried underground after all, with no sign of them coming up any time soon if at all. But I disgress...

We need a Freeview promo advertising highlights for this week, including football on Sky Challenge using a mock logo from this very site. Fingers crossed.

The obsession we had (well certain people had) last time that Pick was DEFINITELY getting a rebrand just before the football was due on was madness. I'm not sure I can go through all that again!

Sky showing the football on Challenge is the equivalent of ITV showing it on the ITV News Channel (or was it still the ITN News Channel back then?).

I'm pretty sure some Champions League matches were broadcast on the ITV News Channel back in the early-2000s.

I look forward to seeing Euro 2020 being listed on the UK Gameshows website, and/or Roy Walker's Catchphrase being shown on Sky Sports... 😏

Early reports suggest that the two halves of each match on Challenge will be separated by episodes of The Chase.

A football match half-time is only supposed to be 15 minutes, and any episode of The Chase needs a 1 hour time slot, so are they going to broadcast the second half of each match on a 45 minute (or more) delay?
