I'm pretty miffed...

I'd just thought I'd like to tell you that I'm VERY jealous of all you gits who have Challenge! ;)
btw, does anyone have any information on Ftn - when it launches and so on. If the ratings for Knightmare are good on Challenge, they might consider showing it on Ftn as well, and being a Freeview channel would be commercially viable for those less fortunate!
oh, seeing it in the tv listings again and not being able to tune in....

Hi again Malefact: this is the first time anyone's ever been jealous of people with Challenge?. Before, we were just a laughing stock.
If my sources are correct, FTN launches on January 15th. It will broadcast 6pm-6am, and includes programming from Flextech's channels, including Challenge?. At present, the only Challenge? show that I know will show on FTN is Defectors. I remember reading somewhere that there was a "type" of show that was considered suitable for FTN: I have no idea whether KM fits that bill: perhaps high ratings might not be enough, in that case.
Anyway, hope that helps.

Thanks for your help, GG. I reckon that high ratings are the ONLY reason for showing a programme. Challenge have Km, and if it gets really good ratings, I reckon that alone will be sufficient...
...but maybe a push in the right direction for Ftn even so...

You may well be right, especially considering some of the things
Challenge?, who are supposed to show just game shows, manage to include in their schedules.

If you really really really really want to watch your beloved show femalefact, I'm sure enigma would be kind enough to let you watch it on his illegal cable hack.

I was only joking about the illegal part, honest! .............................

That's why I'd ideally prefer to see it on DVD although I'd love to see it live (ads and logos apart). Nothing really beats that.
