When that ended in August/September 1998, they ran normal Challenge programming in the slot before disposing of the brand shortly afterwards, certainly no later than 1999.
And opposite to that I recall The Family Channel had already gone very hard with game shows in their last months before rebranding as Challenge TV with most other programming phased out. They already has live continuity with Andy Crane. It may only have been at weekends though “Family Challenge Weekend” is what I believe they called it
