Re: GB News (New UK News channel coming soon)
Pretty much but it's where I think they might struggle because it's designed to have hosts and shows rather than rolling the same news 24/7 like Sky and BBC mostly do. Even Fox News doesn't have opinion-led programming for the main part of the day.

It was a shame, really. A few minutes ago as there was good banter about the price of Australian chardonnay and they linked to an expert but he couldn't hear them and his speech was distorted so the moment was lost and the call abandoned. I also don't know most of the presenters but their names or the name of the shows are not on screen which doesn't help for such a new channel. |

Well, if they do decide to make a film of The Play that Goes Wrong, they will know who to call. :D

Kopparberg, Grolsch, Nivea and the Open University pulling out . .
Leaving the way open for Peloton and Credit Score ads to move in and kill the channel off completely :D |

Re: GB News (New UK News channel coming soon)
It's the natural evolution of capitalism unfortunately. The two things you can do to effect change are either withhold your time or your money.
The former between falling union memberships, mortgages and giving folk a stake in/reliance upon (delete as preferable) the economy means everyone wants a wage. That leaves option two. Now that major companies are under immense pressure in the social media era to be "seen" to do the right thing there's a desperation to react to bad PR. Even an extremely marginal drop in sales - in particular in covid times - is undesirable. On the other side of the fence someone did try to encourage folk to turn over during the ads in the England game because of the "knee". Correctly concluding advertisers would be unhappy. The only minor problem was the Croatia game was on BBC but inevitably ITV will have a game and it's one way to leverage opinion. Nobody wants bad PR - it's why the bookies plant stories about how much they are likely to lose if X happens. Free advertising and in a good light. |

I tried it just now. The sound is quiet and muffled, the picture hazy and washed-out.
Unwatchable. |
