Overview

Why choose Dave?

“Everyone knows a bloke called Dave”. That was the tongue-in-cheek thinking behind renaming entertainment repeats channel UKTV G2 (originally “UK Gold 2”)—which had focused on more recent comedy repeats. The re-branding worked: Dave now sits alongside ITV and Sky Living as one of the most commonly requested channels in TV advertising quotes.

Audience

Who watches Dave?

Adult Male. As simple as that. The channel does enjoy a female audience, but its programming is targeted squarely at a male bias.

About Dave's TV Programming

Whereas UK Gold 2 only broadcast repeats of predominantly BBC comedy, the re-brand to Dave brought commissioning for new content. Dave now runs a strong mix of repeats and brand-new shows. Our media planners absolutely love watching Dave Gorman’s “Modern Life Is Goodish”.

Example shows

  • ✅ Modern Life Is Goodish
  • ✅ Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit
  • ✅ 8 Out Of 10 Cats
  • ✅ Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled
