U&Dave

U&Dave channel logo

U&Dave (previously UKTV G2 and simply Dave) was launched in September 2007 on Freeview and quickly became one of the most-watched digital channels, thanks to a strong mix of British comedy scheduling and Top Gear repeats. Male-skewing, it continues to carry a wide range of comedy-entertainment formats, panel shows, and its own original commissions.
