What a stupid name for a TV channel!

I was thinking exactly the same thing. The MD is probs called Dave so some suck up member of the UKTV team suggested a name change and got a nice bonus out of it. The home of witty banter? Yeah right - calling it Dave suggests they TRY to be witty, but in trying they immediately fail. They may as well have called it 'we are trying our best to be a funny TV chanel, but have no funding so only show crap old repeats - please watch us anyway'. Idiots!

They got their collective heads together and one bright spark said isn't it strange how everyone knows a bloke called Dave ........... that's it! They decided to rename th brand as by calling it Dave this think it sounds more comfortable, friendly and some one you want to share time with - your mate Dave!

Cuz Dave it's a much better name for a boy than UKTVG2.

Saw Dave and wondered who the heck he was.
Some overpaid Jack the lad I dare say.

Haha, this one has had me puzzled too! Maybe they are running out of sensible names for the multitude of channels! I would have called it Bob.
