  Challenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Challenge is a British digital TV channel owned by Flextech.
Originally starting out as 'The Family Channel', and later 'Challenge TV', it has historically shown various game shows taken from a variety of sources, including some they made themselves, and the majority of its programmes are still in this genre.
In late 2004 Challenge introduced the 'Gameshow Gods' slot during weekday evenings, where two classic game shows hosted by legendary gameshow presenters such as Bob Monkhouse, Bruce Forsyth and Ted Rogers were shown each night.

 Interceptor (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The challenge was for both contestants, under guidance from the host, to obtain the key to their opposite number's backpack - usually some distance away from their start point - and meet up, all within a 40-minute time limit.
While Thames TV wanted to propose Interceptor for another ITV network commission in 1990, Thames was already responsible for a very large section of ITV prime-time television shows and other companies wanted a greater proportion.
Pressure exerted by these fans led to UK satellite channel Challenge TV taking the series up for rerun alongside other older game shows (among which were stablemates Treasure Hunt and the Crystal Maze).

Several other new FCC media rules will be challenged today by consumer advocates who say they go too far in allowing media consolidation, and by TV networks and newspaper publishers who say they don't go far enough.

 Fired reporters challenge Fox TV license
TAMPA -- For what is believed to be the first time ever, two television journalists have challenged the broadcast license of a station on grounds it deliberately broadcast false and distorted news reports.
The formal Petition To Deny the station's pending license renewal presents the Federal Communications Commission with 98 pages of what the journalists say is "clear and convincing support for the claim that the licensee is not operating in the public interest and lacks the good character to do so."
The challenge stems from what the reporters say was a year-long experience inside the station, where they resisted Fox managers who repeatedly ordered them to distort a series of news reports about the secret use of an artificial hormone injected in dairy cattle throughout Florida and beyond.

The company is testing it in Houston and says it has found that about 15 percent of TV viewing, for all ages and demographics, actually takes place outside the home.
