Originally there was UK Arena, which showed arts programming (bit BBC4-ish but on a negligible budget) which didn't get many viewers, then it became UK Drama, then UKTV Drama, then Alibi. They've already started adding more UKTV branding to their channels so it's definitely coming round in a circle. UKTV is a really terrible name though.

UK Horizons was the documentaries channel, which became UKTV Documentary and UKTV People, which became Eden and Blighty.
