The big UKTV rebranding machine continues to roll. It was announced this week UKTV History will be rebranded as Yesterday in early 2009. Early next year will also see Blighty (currently UKTV People) and Eden (currently UKTV Documentary) coming to our screens. The full range of UKTV channels will therefore be the following by early next year; Watch, GOLD, Dave, Alibi, Yesterday, Eden, Blighty, UKTV Style, UKTV Gardens and UKTV Food. It’s thought the three remaining UKTV-prefixed channels will also be rebranded some time soon.

Following on from the other rebrands of UKTV channels, UKTV People and UKTV Documentary will rebrand in early 2009 to become Blighty and Eden. The decision to rebrand these channels follows on from the other quirky channel names that launched recently including UKTV G2 becoming Dave, UKTV Drama becoming Alibi, UKTV Gold becoming G.O.L.D. and a new channel called Watch that launched earlier this week (with Alibi and G.O.L.D.).
