I suppose that does make sense if you're watching Emmerdale at 7pm on ITV1 for example, because the programme will then be on again in +1 hour.
But when you're actually watching ITV1+1 at 8pm, you're seeing a programme that was on -1 hour ago. So ITV1-1 would be more logical.
I wonder what Tumble Tower has to say about this...

[Time of program] +1. Makes perfect sense to me.

So YeSTERDAY launches at 6am, this will then leave just UKTV Style/Food/Gardens to rebrand...
I wonder if UKTV Homes will be rebranded on the website, or just put under the same umbrella when UKTV Style rebrands?

Coverage of Yesterday is available at TV Live - so far, rather impressed by this new look, but the DOG is a tad too big for my liking.

It was nice to see GOLD showing "Seven Of One" last night - a vintage Ronnie Barker show that I don't think has seen the light of day for some time, rather than recycling the same stuff the BBC has shown over the last couple of years.

Yeah they've been showing the series for the past few weeks. They've certainly been putting a few different programmes into the schedules in the past few months, even if it has mainly been stuff they were showing 4 or 5 years ago. This week sees Steptoe and Son and The New Statesman.
When you think back to the last incarnation of UKTV Gold and its schedule made up of Porridge, Open All Hours and Only Fools and Horses things are a lot better. Speaking of Only Fools, they've managed to cut that down to one episode shown twice a day which for them is impressive.
All they need to do is start calling the channel Gold.

Those idents don't really do it for me. It took me a couple of views to work out the 'old sounds on modern images' theme, even then I wasn't left thinking, 'wow, that's clever'. More an overwhelming wave of indifference.
Plus, the links between the sounds and images seem a bit contrived to me. The idea of monks chanting accompanying some clichéd footage of threatening looking hoodies (because monks also used to wear hooded clothing - geddit?) just seems a bit lame to me.

They are essentially the same idea as some of the original UKTV idents in 1997 - 2 things similar but different, they even finish with a dividing line across the middle of the screen

Never really thought of that, but yes the idea's similar, and I rather liked that era of UKTV presentation. I suppose it shows how a concept is only as good as the way it's executed.
