Gold (formerly UK Gold, UKTV Gold, and G.O.L.D.) is a British TV network. It was created in November 1, 1992 as a joint venture between [[Thames (UK)|Thames Television]] and [[BBC (UK)|BBC]] to show classic BBC comedy programming. Gold, as well as its sister networks, are currently owned by UKTV, which is a TV company formed in 1997, owned by BBC Worldwide.


== UK Gold ==
===Background===
On 7 October 2008, [[UKTV Gold]] was rebranded to '''G.O.L.D''' (a backronym standing for '''G'''o '''O'''n '''L'''augh '''D'''aily) as part of UKTV's decision to drop the network prefix from its channel names; it took on the name '''Gold''' in 2010. Gold, as well as the rest of UKTV, are wholly owned by [[BBC Studios]] since 2019, after Scripps Networks Interactive (who bought Flextech's stake in 2011) exited the venture.

'''Logo:''' Basically the UK Gold logo at the time, which is a white/{{Font color|blue|blue}} rectangle with "'''{{Font color|blue|UK}} GOLD'''" in {{Font color|blue|blue}}/white with the rectangle formed by a triangle connection. The logo has several variants with an golden retriever interacting with the logo in a way.

'''Variants:''' Here are all of the known variants:
* Launch: On a white background, a golden retriever (named Goldie by locals) can be seen in the middle of the screen, wagging its tail. He then becomes excited and then looks up in the sky as an sound of an airplane plays. This causes Goldie to run off screen and and then come back in later, dragging the UK Gold logo in. He then sits up and fades out, with the logo moving to the center of the screen.
* Flowers: Goldie can be seen running over a {{Font color|purple|purple}} line representing an hill as an flower pops up in the bottom right corner and disappears. Another one appears in the other corner as Goldie runs back over the line and run towards the screen. The background then turns a {{Font color|blue|blue}} hue as the logo zooms in. Goldie then runs up to it and opens the white section like a door, revealing light, and goes inside. The logo then shuts and zooms out, with the "O" lighting up and multiple flowers appearing in front of it.
