It's obviously not an 'issue', I think it's just that it's bland and the latest in a series of incredibly bland names. In the last few years, the BBC have launched Morning Live, Afternoon Live, Newsroom Live, Live, Politics Live, Sunday Morning (while already having a Sunday Morning Live) and now Sunday. Obviously, names don't particularly make or break a show like this and, obviously, bland names are nothing new - Westminster Live was the original BBC politics daily. It's just that there seems to be an abundance of dull, functional, witless names at the minute, particularly from the BBC. While not every programme needs to have a pun title, I do appreciate some degree of cleverness or even just something one step above basic.
