Challenge TV - September 2011 onwards

What Episodes are Challenge show at this moment in time? is it still 72 from S10? do there have plans to get the other 108?

The copyright said 1992 at the end of yesterdays 7-8pm episodes.

Its time to Dip in the rating of Challenge tv, well we'll not had a look in a while, and it still interesting reading TNA has failed to be the top programmes but not lost its core 200'000 viewers,

1 WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE CELEBRITY? (SUN 1700 203000's
2 TNA IMPACT (SUN 2102) 200000's
3 WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE CELEBRITY? (SUN 1400 200000's
4 WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE CELEBRITY? (SUN 1501 197000's
5 DONT FORGET THE LYRICS (SAT 1702) 188000's

7 WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE CELEBRITY? (SUN 1601 168000's
8 WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE CELEBRITY? (SUN 1800 164000's
9 FAMILY FORTUNES (FRI 1702) 156000's
10 BULLSEYE (TUE 1732) 153000's

Challenge is still staying up there but its still got only half the viewers of Pick tv, Maybe it needs to be moved Further down the guide like CHANNEL20?

Has DOND come to an end?

TNA is the second most popular show on there, I'd say it's doing well enough considering Challenge isn't exactly the perfect home for wrestling.

it seems it jumped up 40'000 viewers!

This does look like "NEW" episodes: of blockbusters, When did the challenge start showing it at 7pm?

Don't know how long Dirty Money's been airing on Challenge but it's interesting to see such an obscure Sky1 game show. It's hosted out of vision by Big Brother's Marcus Bentley who is just awful. He emphasises words that shouldn't be emphasised and is generally quite cringeworthy. Bit of a boring format as well which is drawn out by endless questions to the contestants on how they felt after the round. The last round is way too easy with just 6 questions in one minute to win £3000

IIRC Endemol only sell on programmes for syndication in series by series deals.
The first run/commission of Deal Or No Deal only ran for 60 shows.
As Challenge burnt them off at two per night, wouldn't surprise me if they have run out and only committed to a set amount of repeats per episode, and are trying to secure up the second much longer run.

Plus, Sky were trying to flog the programme for sponsorship, and digitally inserted product placement advertising opportunities. Neither happened, so perhaps there's a slight negative...

It was stated on here, by someone who seemed to be in the know that they'd picked up the first five years worth!

Perhaps the option to pull out depending on ratings was in place?

I cant see them playing them all out at once, look what there did with Blockbusters: there got 180 episodes but there spilt it up. we are now only getting to see the other 108eps. First 72 going out twice over 5month period last year

Do you wonder why contestant Frank is smiling and the audience laugh after the "Which pop duo split up in 1986" question has been asked in this clip?
