U&Gold is failing badly

I say this because of its schedule being hardly different any day. LOADS of shows available but they only repeat OFAH. How about you repeat the dozen other shows in your archives. I can see why Citizen Khan won't, but I'm gobsmacked they favour Not Going Out to Two Doors Down. The Jelly ident is disgusting. The channel needs to go all out and get new idents.

Like radio, the smaller channels that work successfully are those that have a select amount of shows on heavy rotation. OFAH works for U&Gold and has been in their top 10 shows for years.
Unlike Rewind TV or That's TV which seem to acquire a series of some obscure show that hasn't been shown for 40 years for good reason is then replaced with something else equally obscure, U&Gold schedules largely classic sitcoms and the odd commission that suits the brand rather than going straight to the bargain bin of shows.

Which, believe it or not, is nonsense. The commissions are common, but have they really remembered they have a back catalogue? Not to mention that's not even all of the point.

Gold used to be decent background TV but you got streaming services now, I do wonder just how many people are watching the broadcast channels of a day… it can’t be many , surely?
