Colm O'Regan: Challenge is Saorview's most curious channel addition yet

"Every so often you turn on the telly and there’s a new one. A TG4 children’s channel, great! How long has Sky News been there? Another TV3 one arrived a while ago. TV3 Four."

‘Challenge’: I didn’t spot it when it first appeared. But then, the collection of channels that appear on Saorview is always a bit of a happy mystery.

Saorview is like a party where someone turns up that no one knows but they all think he must have come with someone else.
