Is there a reason why the Challenge sting/bumper is being squeezed into a 4:3 frame and then cropped back to 16:9?

The IPP is a shoddy copy of the original too, rendered at least twice the size of the LivingTVGroup one - interferes with the DOG too (which is also larger and otherwise different to the previous one).

Do you mean to say this design is now even larger, even uglier than before? Does any of the picture remain when it appears? Laughing

Incompetent use of an ARC?

(you'd be surprised how easily these things can happen. It probably just got ingested onto a server incorrectly by a tape op confronted by fifteen crates of tapes to process, some marked 'priority', some marked 'urgent', and not enough Flexicarts and VT machines to get through them all before the next batch arrived. Things like that certainly happened when the Flextech playout contract moved to Red Bee.)

That promo says every Tuesday, but They had TNA on last night too. The episode last night was from around Christmas. I wonder if they Tuesday episodes are new(er) ones.

The Sun in the UK is featuring an article about TNA programming debuting on Challenge in the UK and Ireland.

"Flagship programme TNA Impact will air EVERY Tuesday night in the UK and Ireland at 10pm from February 8, followed by TNA Xplosion at midnight.

The monthly PPV events - starring the likes of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Kurt Angle - will be broadcast on Wednesdays, starting with Against All Odds on February 16.

Due to TNA being off air in January, catch up episodes of Impact and Xplosion will go out every day from Thursday February 3 to Monday February 7 from midnight.

Fans can also watch TNA's January PPV event, Genesis, on Wednesday February 9 at 10pm.

Sky channel Challenge is available on Sky 125, Virgin Media 139 and Freeview 46."

Sounds about right, promote a TNA product by mentioning ex-WWE talent. Laughing
