Will News Crop.'s Talk TV make bid to merge with Loss making GB News? that would help Talk TV with:

*Higher Channel number on Virgin Media.
*Axing the Talk TV's phone ins.

Ever say ever look that what happen in 1990 with Sky and BSB.

They need more content than ranty swivel eyed loon nutters.

Maybe a revival of topless darts, would help the channel?

The darts didn't stop the inevitable happening to L!VE TV. Some channels are just destined to fail and I think these 2 will join the list sooner or later.

It has some good stuff on there.

The breakfast show is better than the BBC, Sky & ITV

Free speech nation & Headliners are also very good.

I don't watch anything else on the channel but then I don't watch anything on the BBC & Sky news channels at all.

The days of MPs like Matthew Parris doing the decent thing and stepping down as MPs seem a distant memory. Instead, we're in an era of presenticians where sitting MPs present and discuss the news they want you to hear.

Want to know what your local MP is up to? Check the schedules of Talk TV and GB News?

Want to see an MP fawning over their old boss? Then Nadine Dorries's show is a must-watch for you.

I would think Murdoch would not bother merging Talk TV with GB News, I think he'd rather see them gone.

Ofcom investigates GB News after Tory MPs interview chancellor

GB News is being investigated over a possible breach of impartiality rules, after two senior Conservative MPs interviewed the chancellor before the spring budget on its channel.

Jeremy Hunt sat down for an interview with the former Tory cabinet minister Esther McVey, who is still the MP for Tatton, and her husband, Philip Davies, the MP for Shipley, on Saturday 11 March for their weekly show.

Ofcom has announced that it will investigate whether the show broke the media watchdog’s rules “requiring news and current affairs to be presented with due impartiality”.

It's a tad shameless more than anything.

I do wonder if it was deliberately done to test Ofcom.

GB News summoned to Ofcom meet after new breach

Communications regulator Ofcom has ordered GB News to attend a meeting to discuss its compliance.

It follows an investigation that found an edition of the Mark Steyn programme, first aired on GB News on 4 October 2022, to be in breach of UK broadcasting rules.

The programme included an interview with the feminist author, journalist and conspiracy theorist Naomi Wolf. During the interview, Dr Wolf made serious claims about the Covid-19 vaccine, including that its rollout amounted to a pre-meditated crime – “mass murder” – and was comparable to the actions of “doctors in pre-Nazi Germany”.

Ofcom received 422 complaints about the interview with correspondents alleging the comments were “dangerous” and included “misinformation” that went “unopposed”.

The regulator’s investigation concluded that GB News fell short of this requirement by allowing Dr Wolf to promote a serious conspiracy theory without challenge or context – for example through other contributions in the programme or by the presenter, who appeared to support many of her comments.

It’s not an “new breach” though is it. It’s Old news. The decision was made in March, from a programme aired in October last year and Steyn has long since left.

Any actions now are superfluous.

It's a poor headline.

GB News have acted proactively here by sacking that muppett but they can doubtless expect a lecture.

The general vocal minority say one thing, and silent majority say the other, type scenario.
