Challenge TV launched on Freeview!

Damn. German 3-2-1 looks downright epic!

This is from the Challenge facebook page:

Great news for our Welsh viewers! From 15th September Challenge will be available 24 hours on freeview in Wales so you'll no longer miss out on our great programming in the evening!

How about moving it slot 20 where, you know, people might actually see it!

I think UKTV might take issue to that, what with them having Really in that slot.

Hmmm, strange, I rescanned my Top Up TV box yesterday and it left it empty.

It does strange things though, a lot of it because I get ghost muxes from other transmitters when the stratosphere cares to deliver them.

I heard a CA earlier saying something along the lines of "prepare to get wet in Wipeout". Unless Paul Daniels is some kind of sex object...

The CA probably got confused - Total Wipeout (which of course, heavily involves water!) is simply called Wipeout in other countries, but was renamed here to avoid confusion with the earlier gameshow.

Pretty poor that we have CAs who literally know nothing about what they're plugging or introducing though!

So they've re-wound back to the 1993 series of the krypton factor tonight.

Rather disheartened they've decided not to show another series. Do Challenge still have the rights to 1986-92 Krypton Factor?

Probably not. Before the recent airing it hadn't been shown since at least 2009 (probably earlier), I suspect the rights had elapsed.

Yea, pretty poor to reshow a series of The Krypton Factor that was only on a few weeks ago...a bit unimaginative...
