A television channel has recently undergone a rebranding, and it seems that not everyone is happy with the change. The channel, known as Dave since its launch in 1998, has gone through several name changes over the years, causing confusion among its loyal fans.
Originally known as UK Gold Classics, the channel was later changed to UK Gold 2, then to UK G², and finally to UKTV G2. However, in 2007, it was rebranded once again as Dave, a name that has remained for the past 12 years. But now, the channel has been renamed to U&Dave, much to the dismay of its viewers.
The announcement of the rebranding was made earlier this month, with the channel's social media accounts trying to get viewers on board. However, it seems that many are not impressed with the new name. Some have even taken to jokingly suggesting alternative names, such as "The TV channel formerly known as Dave," "Ewan Dave," and "Ewe and Dave."
For those unfamiliar with the channel, Dave primarily airs comedy shows, along with some factual programming. It has also produced original content like Big Zuu's Big Eats and Judge Romesh. However, despite the channel's efforts to promote its new name, fans are not convinced and are still referring to it as Dave.
One viewer commented that the new name "won't catch on," while another joked that it should have been called "The Channel that's named after a Bloke and shows Comedy and endless reruns of Top Gear." Some even voiced their disappointment at losing their connection to the channel, with one person stating that the rebranding was "pointless" and suggesting that the marketing agency responsible should be fired.
It seems that the majority of viewers are not on board with the new name and plan to continue calling it Dave. Only time will tell if the rebranding will stick, but for now, it seems that Dave will always hold a special place in the hearts of its fans.
