The placeholder website now is up for U:

It originally redirected to UKTV Play.

Odd that Gold, Alibi and Eden aren’t included on there.

Carriage deals still need to be discussed, U& will be applied to Alibi and GOLD at a later date - the focus is on free for now.

Just seen a U&Drama promo on Drama itself.
Still a bloody awful name.

It's like they want to show off what a downgrade it is by having the old fade into the new.
As with all such revamps no doubt they'll emphasise the "U&" prefix initially but I suspect it won't be long until the legacy names are just used by continuity as shorthand to refer to each service.

How to destroy your branding by ruining the channels' logos. That re-drawn Dave wordmark is p***-poor.

I hate being too pessimistic about this stuff but it feels like there's no conceivable way that this could work or be "good" for any of these channels.

As quickly as G.O.L.D. ended up becoming Gold.

I actually felt myself twitch when I saw U& YESTERDAY. Atrocious.
