  • Challenge is a United Kingdom digital TV channel owned by Virgin Media Television. It was originally called The Family Channel from 1 September 1993 to 31 January 1997, which aired a mixture of genre shows mainly including sitcoms, game shows, dramas and entertainment. It was later re-branded as Challenge TV from 1 February 1997 and it mainly just focuses on gameshows taken from a variety of terrestrial and digital channel archives. On 20 May 2002, the channel was re-named again but this time it was just Challenge? and on 30 June 2003, the question mark was removed to leave the Challenge name in its place. Most are repeats of programmes acquired from terrestrial channel archives, but a few are original productions commissioned by Challenge itself. The channel also has interactive features for digital cable and satellite viewers watching certain shows, enabling them to play along at home. The service also offers a large selection of games and competitions. The channel only aired programmes in the letterbox format but on the 3 June, 2008 it switched to the widescreen format along with all other Virgin Media Television channels. This was coupled with a revamped logo.
