I'm sick of reading about new TV channels launching that don't appeal to me. The current batch of UKTV channels: UKTVGold, Drama and whatever else are all being rebranded as a womans channel (Watch), modern crime (Alibi) and comedy, i.e, wall-to-wall Dibley and Only Fools and Horses (GOLD - stands for Go On, Laugh Daily). All terrible names, all channels that don't appeal to me in the slightest.
So if no one's going to launch a TV channel that interests me, I'm just going to have to do it myself.
