Might as well keep it going and call one of the adult channels "Fanny"


Or they could call it Dick or Willy Laughing

Will 'Dave' keep the same programming as current G2, or will it mostly disappear due to transmission rights covering or not covering Freeview?

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but continuity on Bright Ideas has confirmed that the channel will be shutting down on 14th October.

Well Bright Ideas was only ever intended to be a Freeview showcase for Style, Food & Gardens. It was always going to be sacrificed once UKTV came up with a better idea (or should that be a "brighter idea" lol).

Sky Three is in a similar position as was evidenced by Sky's plans for Pay-TV on DTT earlier this year.

UKTV Bright Ideas should have been renamed Dumb Ideas..

Good riddance. Nothing seems to be on the channel except Good Food "Live" and Antiques Roadshow.

This could be UKTVs 'bright idea' to totally rebrand all their channels.

My idea of the new channel names.
UKTV History > ADOLF (Hitler)
UKTV Style > NICK (Knowles)
UKTV Food > RICK (Stein)
UKTV Gold > CHAS (sister channel to DAVE)
UKTV Drama > SHERLOCK (Holmes)
UKTV People > JEREMY (Clarkson)
UKTV Documentry > MICHAEL (Palin)
UKTV Gardens > ALAN (Titchmarsh)
