Happy Birthday Dave (a potted history of the channel)
#4

I think Dave is an estimate to how TV can't exactly die with its viewers. I've noticed that the channel has slowly, if not slightly, started to target a similar BBC Three audience, probably down to the fact that the older viewers are now shifted over to other channels like Yesterday, and repeats of shows like Red Dwarf have similarly moved over, if not rarely aired on Dave.

Not to mention the fact that a portion of BBC Three's programming has aired on Dave. But all else fails, Dave will always be known as the channel for Top Gear reruns, a la Challenge with The Chase, Adult Swim with their Rick and Morty and E4 for their Married at First Sight. It does make me wonder what the future might hold for a channel like Dave, as now they seem to focus more on their original programming and rightfully so, as have Sky done as they realise the rights to the shows may inevitably disappear (even if BBC's commercial sector owns UKTV outright).
