Looks like after the early morbid curiosity that it might be car crash TV people just aren't fussed enough to watch it.

That is a great shame, as surely nobody would be against issues being discussed from all viewpoints which is what it was designed for as an antidote to the BBC and Sky.

However, I must agree that it has been a disappointment. We are used to seeing very slick rolling news outlets, and regular if somewhat repetitive news bulletins. GB News chose the wrong format I think - they would have been wiser to follow the rolling news format and have guests from different perspectives that are not given air time on the other two big news channels, giving their opinions on the news. Instead, they seemed to choose sofa style discussions which is much more difficult to dip in and out of during the day. Understandably it is not as slick and glitzy as the big two, and it is rather jarring in this day and age.

I think it will need a relaunch, changing the format to mimic the other two, but of course, still having a greater variety of viewpoints and trying to make it more in line with today's expectations of qualtiy.

Don't panic they've recruited Nigel Farage.

No it wasn't. It was designed to be the equivalent of Fox news in America and give a right wing view of the world by and for people who are convinced the BBC is left wing.

Hope it dies a death.

Sir Keir Starmer should watch it - it might give him a handle on what former Labour voters might be interested in

Imagine being so flipping woeful that your attempt at salvation is the biggest mercenary of the lot…

The whole thing is amateur, if you’re in to that right wing, hate everything type of thing there are slicker videos on YouTube.

“ Broadcast said 57% of GB News’ opening show’s audience was male, while 52% were aged 65 years or older and 82% were from the ABC1 demographic.”

https://www.theguardian.com/me.....or-sky-news-channels

Using the NRS social grades, the ABC1 demographic are squarely “middle class”. So what you have is a TV channel for self-pitying boomers, who have rinsed every single benefit built by generations before them, and have now pulled up the ladder and want to cry about young people and foreigners.

Sir Kieth seems to think these awful shítes will propel him into
No.10, so it’ll be even funnier to watch that actual working classes desert Mandleson’s Blairite puppet.
