If it makes ITV enough money, I can't see it happening. Any concerns they might have about the Chase brand being oversaturated simply won't exist if they haven't existed before. ITV are no stranger to relying on a repeat during a late afternoon/early evening if schedules are up in the air.

The Chase has enough episodes in the archive they can afford to be across more than one channel - it might be a case ITV hold on to more recent repeats for longer but they might as well sub-licence the older episodes that are far more noticeable as repeats due to less Chasers, the more basic set and of course the nature of the questions.

Yeah well that's Early Instalment Weirdness for you. Happens to all long running game shows in due course when some major rule or set change comes along. One question shootout suggests they've done nearly 2100 Chase episodes since 2009 (which is everything Chase related. The daytime only episodes alone are near enough 2000 in total)
