GB News

[bluethrunthru]

I’m not surprised people are switching off but I really don’t get the comparisons to the BBC. Maybe I’ve not watched it enough but they seem nothing like each other

I am not entirely sure what they expected - started and run by an ex-BBC man who has employed quite a few ex-BBC presenters ........ what are they supposed to do? Simon McCoy naked burping the News? Brillo doing his monologues whilst locked in a fridge? Coast fella doing his unionist slot whilst sky diving ( given their lack of success on OB's right now that could end very badly ) - its a studio based TV political discussion program - its just Peston in the dark

I expect there are some for whom it is not rabidly right wing enough

Yes that is probably the case.

BlueHammer was quoting an express article.

Its touch and go whether GB News will last as long as El Dorado

It'll last. It won't be allowed to fail. Remember Wingnut Welfare has deep pockets.
And some donors will see a massive payoff if they can convert Britain into a deregulated corporate wonderland like the USA.

This is it.

GB either has to go full Trump mode or it's just a waste of time

This.

I expect the editorial policy will (d)evolve as they get the numbers in from the data mining being collected on the app from their viewers which will decide the direction of the channel.

'CNN ratings down' in google will give you some details. All down, for sure,
Fox has recovered and remains the biggest, CNN has tanked.

Well, they may well succeed, Fox is the biggest cable prime time channel. Just checked CNN ratings, 80% down on prime time, they’re struggling big time.

You sound like a rag. 'But...but...we have 650 million fans'.

Another piss-poor attempt at trolling from you.

The Daily Mail is the most widely viewed 'news' outlet in the UK. However, it's main demographic is going to become more and more irrelevant, as it's filled with middle-aged and above, gammon bellends, with fuck all else to do but be outraged at 'the foreigns' and 'the gays' and 'the cancel culture snowflakes'.

Pretty much like Fox News.

The young people must be reading the guardian then.

Ohh wait on I haven't thought this through.
