This first round match-up will air Thursday, December 3, at 6:30 PM on MSG Varsity (Cablevision's iO TV - Channel 14.) MSG Varsity, Cablevision's recently launched 24/7 television network dedicated to everything high school, will feature new episodes of The Challenge every Sunday through Friday at 6:30 p.m. The Challenge will also repeat on News 12 New Jersey on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

"The Challenge just keeps getting better," notes Theresa Chillianis, MSG Varsity's General Manager. "The teams really enjoy the new host, Jared Cotter, and family and friends can now tune-in six nights a week on MSG Varsity. For those who never watched before, get set for some exciting competitions each week as teams try to move on to the Tri-State Challenge Championship next spring."
