GB News / Talk TV

Doesn't really make sense since I thought their entire premise was not rolling news but commentary driven shows led by personalities. Their whole thing is presenters giving their opinion on an issue at the top of the show.

I don't understand all this incessant whinging of the news channel - don't like it, you don't watch, it really is that simple.

Silly idea Mick, you know they only watch it so they can complain about it

It's likely a ploy by GB News to raise awareness with the aim of attracting more viewers.

This would be why: https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...aking-the-knee

GB News attracted zero viewers during some of its broadcasts this week, according to official television audience figures produced by rating agency Barb, after a viewer boycott prompted by one of its presenters taking the knee in solidarity with the England football team.

Looks like they might have fired the presenter as well?

A GB News spokesperson declined to say whether Harri, a former spokesperson for Boris Johnson, was still with the channel.

I'm intrigued about Andrew Neil. Aside from his extensive holiday, his last re-tweet of a GB News item was July 6th. You would think he would be putting more effort into promoting the new channel; he is still tweeting other content.

If that were true some of their broadcasts might have attracted more than zero viewers...

... or perhaps less than zero voters.

Probably head hunted by the bbc, I watched in horror as did his co presenter.

Maybe it's just not good at the job of presenting the news?Perhaps it needs to stop being the topic of the news?

I wonder how long they'll give themselves to turn it around. They're paying their presenters quite a bit (if not their production staff).

The format is rubbish and their backers must surely be giveing Andrew Neil some grief.

There have been allegations that one of the presenters masturbated in front of year 9 children. He has threatened legal action over this.

GB News host Alastair Stewart fears it will be a while until he'll be back on the news channel after breaking his hip as he explains he was 'knocked over' by a horse

Doesn't get better for them does it ? It was probably one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...

Yup the presenter who took the knee is off-air 'indefinitely'

If and When Neil comes back it'll be interesting to see if they keep doing the 'Woke Watch' thing where they whine about people being cancelled.
