Gold is a classic comedy channel from the UKTV network, broadcasting to the United Kingdom and Ireland. It launched on 1 November 1992 as UK Gold, before, in 2008, it was split into current flagship channel Gold and miscellaneous channel, Watch, with comedy based programming now airing on Gold, non-crime drama and entertainment programming airing on Watch and Quiz shows and more high-brow comedy airing on Dave. The channel is currently available on Sky, Virgin Media, Smallworld Cable, TalkTalk TV, terrestrial subscription via Top Up TV and through IPTV on BT Vision. It shows repeats of classic programming from the BBC and other broadcasters. The channel's main rival is the ITV plc owned ITV3, which mainly airs the archive ITV programmes, and has a higher audience share than Gold. Another rival is More4 which also has a higher audience share than Gold. This is perhaps because they are free-to-air channels whereas Gold is subscription based. Wikipedia [ - ]
