I think UKTV are prepared to trying their hand at anything. They seem to have a real focus on live events at the moment.

"We are quickly establishing UKTV as a network able to handle attention-grabbing live events, from the Python's last ever performance - Monty Python Live (Mostly) for Gold through Really's Halloween spectacular Most Haunted Live to Dave's ratings success, the Red Bull Soapbox Race. Our ambition continues to grow in terms of the variety and quality of our programming and appointment to view TV remains at the top of our wish list."
"We are increasingly stretching our offering to Dave viewers, bringing them programmes which tap into the news agenda, such as last year's election special The Pub Landlord vs Nigel Farage. I'm thrilled to be giving our viewers a ringside seat to this hotly-anticipated boxing match and, with Dave's own spin on the event, helping to show the sport in a brand new light."
