GB News

[journolud]

Just checking. You do realise that the comparative figures are for "news channels"? 15 million watch terrestrial BBC1 TV news.

Just checking, I am.

I'm glad you posted that, I was a bit slack in my previous search about viewing figures and it makes sense that more people would watch a specific news bulletin rather than be glued to 24 hour rolling news which really can only be useful when there is a big story breaking although even then the desperation to spin out unfolding events with the classic question to our (insert specialist correspondent here) of "what more do we know" is telling.

It's inevitable that a 24 hours news channel won't be focussed solely on the news and the BBC for example has travel segments, "IT" and other bits and bobs.

My main exposure to 24 hour channels is in train stations, airports, my local pharmacy and my barbers (sky sports), beyond that I'm not sure who they are really supposed to appeal to. Would be interesting to know the average tune in time of your average 24 hour news viewer and how GBnews stacks up against that. Would also be interesting to know the respective demographics.

The resident mouth foamer is great at insinuation.

Are you going to do what this mouth foamer asked you gammon faced reactionary lick spittle?

Send it under a nom de plume, you know, Connie Lingus or Buster Cherry, it's all the rage on GB News.

I can really feed your outrage if you'd like? All that stuff you don't know about. Like most of the stuff above "outraged of Tunbridge Wells" or the red tops. It would be fun! Gammon and comrade arm in arm for the silent majority, it'd be a Bluemoon first!

You think I'm talking shit? But take a look at this, gammons and comrades in tandem, same objective, different motivations.....




Here's a question for you, prove to me you're not the idiot I think you are. Why is GB News running with this? Or the Maya Forstater story for that matter? Come on now, don't run away, surprise us all.

Nearly all 24 hour rolling news stations are just one in a portfolio of channels using staff and studios that they use anyway for their main bulletins on the main channels so it’s a bit of a public service sideline which is not meant to stand on its own. The whole concept of a news channel that’s not affiliated to a major organisation seems doomed to failure I would imagine, especially one that’s geared to geriatric curtain twitchers who like to shout at clouds and are unlikely to spend their pensions on anything out of the ordinary making advertising anything other than incontinence pads pointless.

She did but it’s a secret.

She wrote other books that were more famous.

Decent quip. Gonna give you 5 out of 7 for it.

Or are you going to just blow it out your arse as usual?

Oh yes, for sure I'm going to dance to the tune of some supercilious Corbyn arse licker toot sweet.
As one of the sad twats that started pouring bile before this TV show
even aired it's got to you big time, you gob slavering spunk bubble.

Ooo, we've gone all sweary.

Did you add this little snippet later, it wasn't on the original rant?
I've got no idea why they're running whatever it is you've put up, as unlike you,
I haven't been watching it avidly since it launched, but if you want to dream up why's and wherefores whilst glued to it, carry on old cock, it'll boost the ratings.

I'm not a member of the Labour party. My TV has been unplugged for nearly a year as I'm having work done on the house. I posted the odd bit here and there before this channel started but nothing substantial.

You've swerved away from answering my questions, you are of course free to do so, but you can't escape the obvious conclusion that you know the square root of fuck all.

Just as I thought, you've no idea.

And for once you're right.
A piece on Grenfell featuring some Labour MP lasting half an hour or so is not
something that I'd be too interested in, as that tragedy has been widely covered, so I've not watched it. You have, so instead of throwing out challenges, tell us what it is that you've deduced from it, if it's worth hearing,
(which I very much doubt), and what your earth shattering conclusions are.

It'll be the same demographic. Increasing audience with age (and with nothing better to do). But GBNews will be older, as the younger ones will either not know about it or will think "not for me".
