Could be interesting, I wonder if UKTV Steve or similar is on the cards?

Interesting how the article refers to Watch as a 'relaunch' - odd given there was no obvious predecessor to Watch, unless G.O.L.D. is a new channel and Watch was a relaunch of UKTV Gold.

Rename it Jeremy ... and increase the TG repeats. would do Clarkson's ego a boost.

If there's one ego on TV that doesn't need boosting, it's Jeremey Clarkson's. In fact, that's the reason why Top Gear
moved into a bigger studio a few years ago, Clarkson's ego was already too big for the old studio even in 2002!

But surely Steve is the Channel 3 franchise holder for North and Central Scotland?
