"Hey everyone, Elon's renamed Twitter to X. We should have a one-letter name, it would be so cool. Like, the kids would love it. Elon's a visionary. We should definitely, definitely, definitely do what Elon's done. When has he ever made a mistake in business? Exactly, never! Maybe I could have a bonus worth billions! So cool!"

Google's parent company claimed the whole thing. They're called Alphabet!

Or, they just claimed the first & 3/4ths of the second letter of the Greek alphabet.

Agamma is up for grabs!

Bruh!

In November 2023, it was announced that in Summer 2024 all of UKTV's free-to-air channels and UKTV Play would be rebranded with the new name of "U". While the free-to-air channels, Dave, Drama, Yesterday and W, will become “U&Dave”, “U&Drama”, “U&Yesterday”, and “U&W”. The planned launch date for this rebrand is 16th July. UKTV also said they plan to rebrand their pay channels to “U&GOLD”, “U&alibi”, and “U&eden” later this year.
