That is my immediate reaction after hearing the news but after a couple years it might grow on me. That's if Top Gear has been axed from DAVE's future schedules.

It's just something new, wouldn't say it could be treated with the same shock that Film4 got thrown at it
before
seeing what the brand actually looked like but Dave is possibly something that will interest people because it's so different.
Won't go down well with much of the old guard of TV programming though (I'm looking at you Harshy, my lad) but it's better than another UKTV-branded channel and you can't really forget a channel called Dave, whether that works in their favour is to be seen but I'm happy with it.

So the worst channel acronym in history is to be banished! About time. You can just imagine the pitch - "ok, so we've got a great idea for the new channel name - Dave"!
By the looks of things it is going to be as far disassociated with the UKTV brand and branding as possible, much more so than Play UK was.

DAVE! What kind of crazy name is that. UKTV G2 is the second most popular UKTV channel, changing it at all will be like tearing the heart of britain out of the UK and stamping on it! I know people complained that it took to long to say 'UKTV G2' when it last relaunched but renaming it to DAVE will make british television a joke. I don't like it, it will never grow on me, do not do it!
