I'd argue Gold, at least now, is probably the only successful post-Dave rebrand. W still doesn't seem to have a clue what it's doing, their Drama channel is no stranger to showing comedy, Alibi shows a lot of what Drama should be showing, and the absence of Eden HD on Sky makes me forget it even exists. Blighty, Good Food, Really and Home speak for themselves.Yeah, Blighty was definitely a flop, wasn't that replaced by Drama? Good Food, Really and Home were handed over to Discovery when they sold their half of UKTV to BBC Studios, Home has since been renamed HGTV, so they clearly didn't think that brand was strong enough (unlike Really). And Good Food no longer exists either, having merged with Food Network.
You forgot about Yesterday.
