Re: GB News / Talk TV
Anyone old enough to remember what happened to British Satellite Broadcasting and Sky? Course you are! Two loss-making satellite TV broadcasters merged to become one successful broadcaster guided by Rupert Murdoch.
Could the newly single Rupert Murdoch be tempted to do something similar in the UK with a Talk TV and GB News merger? Both channels are loss-making and whilst GB News has more viewers, it's burning through it's three-year funding and is loss-making without a parent company.

Yes, failure from you to interpret the actual picture as usual and coming up with your own rubbish assumptions because of your inability to read the room correctly.
I really do ponder why I let you spout your bullshit on here, because all you do, is LIE.
GB News is such a failure that it beat all other news outlets including the BBC, during Farage’s hour…..

Given Piers is boasting about getting “DOUBLE” the ratings of Sky News last night – it appears he now once again believes conventional ratings matter – Guido did his due diligence and checked the BARB figures. In fairness to Piers, Uncensored got 55,600 viewers last night across the hour, with Sky managing 29,500 from 7-7:30 pm, before dropping to 26,600 in the second half of the slot. Well done Piers.
What Piers forgot to mention is he was beaten by GB News, again. Mark Steyn got 64,500 viewers in the same slot, with Farage storming to the front of the pack again with 105,700 an hour earlier. Farage also topped the BBC, which managed 84,900 in his slot…
Patrick Christys, covering for Dan Wootton, got 49,000, virtually neck-and-neck with Beth Rigby’s new show at 50,800. Tom Newton Dunn, meanwhile, entertained his loyal fan club of 4,600…

GB News has done well to get to its current viewing figures. The issue with GB News is getting more viewers and advertisers to be profitable, the latter being tricky in the face of an economic downturn.
It's been funded for three years after which it's expected to break even. What happens after that?

Done well? They're all abysmal, some of those shows have more people working on them than watching (not really)! Cable Forum has had more people watching at certain times than them (that one is true ish), what's the point, 100k watching the top show

That’s very unfair (on the sewage workers) - they have enough crap to deal with…

So great, he's never won a UK Parliamentary Seat, even after 7 tries...
He's a legend in his own lunchtime...

Your point is a useless distraction. He's great on more than one count:
1. He is the father of Brexit; didn't need a parliamentary seat.
2. H exposed the EU for the power grabbing entity (federation) that it wishes to be.
3. On GB News he allows the "other side" of the argument to be fairly put.
A great man.

Re: GB News / Talk TV
Farage is one of the most effective politicians of the last few decades. I think Great Man is a bit strong. Churchill was a great man. Farage has plenty of flaws. He often struggles on topics outside his chosen domain of Brexit and has a bit of an ego complex. There was a reason Vote Leave sidelined him. A complex man who has achieved quite a lot would be more accurate IMO.

I think that's a fair assessment.
I would put him alongside Thatcher and Major in terms of his influence on the country in the last forty years.
