UK Gold Rename
Have UK Gold etc.. all just been renamed today (8 March) ? Mintguy (T)

I think the article clarifies that point, but yes. Lee M 03:35, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Why is it hypocritical for the BBC to cut programmes in some cases and not others? Tim Ivorson 15:14, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Because it shows an almost capricious inconsistency. Anyway, programmes paid for by the licence fee shouldn't be cut for commercial timing on a subscription channel - why should viewers pay more to see less??? Lee M 02:48, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Why should licence payers have to pay at all? This channel really ought to be on Freeview now that there is extra capacity, especially as their commercial competitor ITV have launched ITV3 on Freeview, which was formerly this channel's rival. User:Rob 23:16, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The unfortunate fault with this argument is that you could say that why should you pay normal rates for video tapes or DVD's of BBC programmes if you've already payed for them. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. :) Douglasnicol 16:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed Channel 4 mention. Also, UK Gold began 1 day before the 10th anniversary. How is that "coincident"? Fred FuManchu 19:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Telewest Channel Number?
I have updated the NTL channel number, but don't know if the number on Telewest was changed to match NTL's. - Lee Stanley 16:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

New logo?
Why has the logo been changed which does not happen until October? /Marbles (talk) 12:01, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Requested move
UKTV Gold → G.O.L.D. or Gold (TV channel) — Since UKTV Gold will rebrand this week, it is unclear what the article should be renamed to —  [[ axg|undefinedSpecial:Contributions/AxGtalk  |undefined]] 09:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It is G.O.L.D., and as such, I have moved it to G.O.L.D., which means it's ✅. -- MISTER ALCOHOL  TC 19:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Last night, I moved all UKTV Gold content over to G.O.L.D, then somebody had deleted it when I checked it this morning! I'm just glad to see common sense has prevailed! --Bravo Plantation (talk) 21:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Good. G.O.L.D. is now its name, so please don't move this back to UKTV Gold. ;) -- MISTER ALCOHOL  TC 05:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Main channel?
Although this is descended from the original UKTV channel, it's arguably not their "main channel" anymore (0.5% audience share, compared to 0.9% for Dave). It's not even on Freeview. Should it just be changed to "a" channel? Bob talk 11:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll do that now.--PhilipB (talk) 20:38, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Article rename
The Article should be renamed GOLD (UK TV Channel) because it has been rebranded to GOLD as apposed to G.O.L.D. User:Unregistered TV Attention Payer Man —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.103.233.165 (talk) 00:25, 26 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. --PhilipB (talk) 20:37, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately per Manual of Style (trademarks), the name of the article should be lowercase and be at Gold (TV channel). --  [[ axg  ◉  talk   ]] 22:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
