Challenge is coming to Freeview.
-
It's been a bit quiet on here lately so I thought I'd get some fans hopes up to get things going again. I found this recent news on ukfree.tv,
"Sky is closing one pay and one free channel from the portfolio it bought from Virgin TV, because they match channels already provided by Sky.
Bravo and Channel One (which was Virgin 1 and before that FTN) will close.
This means that the Channel One slot on Freeview will be replaced with the quiz show channel Challenge."
Repeats of KM might be more likely now. Challenge's budget will surely be massively increased, especially as it will soon be available on every platform going. Look at Dave for example, when it was UKTV G2 it just concentrated mostly on repeats, now it's constantly producing and making more original programs.
The most famous being "Red Dwarf: Back To Earth" and it looks like there going to be making 2 brand new series of it next year through Dave.
You never know they might start making documentary's on their favourite and most popular gameshows, similar to the 5-minute ones they did during the festive period some years back. In which they got Tim and Hugo to do a little interview, if they made an hour long documentary with more cast members contributing then I would be very happy.
It might even spur some more action into Tim Child, who if you remember started on KMVR around about the same time as the Challenge repeats were announced.

Apparently Challenge is coming to Freeview sometime next year (actual date to be confirmed). Perhaps now would be a good time to lobby Challenge to get Knightmare back on TV? Someone has already mentioned it on a thread here - http://www.challenge.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=73e03f436d76d2d9b21cd0612c8bab9c&threadid=10801 although the natives don't seem all that friendly
Cheers and Merry Christmas,
Tiggy

I'd recommend that people head over to http://www.challenge.co.uk/forums/ and give Knightmare a mention, preferrably in the "Challenge Shows" or "Your Shout" sections. I of course, will do the same at some point.
