Never watched the channel, but as I am for freedom of expression I hope it doesn't fold. Surely we want a range of differing opinions on current affairs being voiced in our society ? if you don't like it watch something else, Russia Today might suit a few on here I suspect ;-) RT That's not my cup of tea either but I defend its right to broadcast in the UK. Personally I have enjoyed Aljazeera when ever I have watched it. ?

We certainly don't want want censorship and things being closed down just because we don't agree with them. Be careful what you wish for folks.

Who wants it censored or banned?

Quite a few want it to fail but that’s a different thing.

GB News clocked an average daily audience of 42,000 on Monday, June 21. By the end of the week, viewing had drifted down to 31,000 - well below the respective 95,000 and 59,000 viewers notched by BBC News and Sky News.

Meanwhile, the channel's flagship 8pm show, spearheaded by Neil, has also shown signs of strain.

After clocking 164,000 viewers on the day after launch, Neil's show struggled to draw crowds consistently.

Viewing figures have dipped below the 100,000 mark, dropping as low as 33,000 on Thursday last week.

The Euro 2020 tournament may be partly to blame. Many broadcasters face a battle to keep their audience share as viewers flock to the football.

Yet there are fears GB News' early dip may be the first signs of a lasting decline.

The channel needs an average daily audience of 139,000 to attract the advertising spend needed to break even on annual costs of £25m, according to Enders Analysis

I don't want it censored, banned nor to close. I want it to bump along the bottom with audiences so low BARB can't record them above 0.0 so it shows how much of a simply vocal minority the gammon are - they are amplified by the written press but in reality their outrage is shared by so few people.
 
I come across a segment of GB News last night that has been posted to You tube. Strangely enough I had been watching a sort of documentary on Caolan Robertson who was Tiny Tommy Ten Names video person and the you tube algorithims suggested GB news :))

The piece was about critical race theory being used by housing charity Shelter to educate its people about white privilige amongst the homeless, I think, but i am not sure as the presenter then went on a rant about white kids doing badly at school

The piece totally baffled me, it was unsubstantiated, apparently coming from a whistle blower inside Shelter. It was dumbed down to the point of being a piece that was just shouty about the Neo-Marxist left.


If people want to watch this sort of stuff, it is up to them, i have no problem with it, it just struck me that John Craven's Newsround was more informative.

If this is the sort of stuff that is your bag, then watch it by all means, then come on here and explain it to me please, because I didn't get it.

Poor production values.
Terrible fact checking
Lack of actual news and more about presenter/reporters opinon
And it's shit.

Let it stay on air, never censor it and never ban it.

At least if the wierdos and cranks have somewhere to go talk to themselves it might hopefully mean a return to serious news journalism on sky and the beeb, not wheel a crank out to fill airtime that left us with a decade of farage, hartley-brewer and dan hodges polluting the airwaves.

exactly why its a station thats tanking - not only is it bollocks that sounds like something that its average viewer will struggle to process and understand

It's the daily fucking Mail in live format.
It has cunts like Farage and Fox involved.

The question is....unless you're a far right shithouse, why would anyone want it to succeed?

It's only the far right and the far left shithouses that seem bothered either way - everyone else just watches one of the other 200 channels or netflix.

Don't think anyone is in a lather, just laughing at it already imploding in it's infancy.

A studio version of the Daily Mail, like the Batley far right political candidates who lost their deposits today, it was never gonna succeed.

Thoughts and prayers, Lazerblue.

time will tell, is the daily mail not the biggest selling newspaper in the country?

I think it is, and I think The Sun is the 2nd biggest seller.

A damning indictment if ever there was one; both awful racist rags.

I don't think the Daily Mails circulation figures are gonna save Gbeebies from the inevitable chop or format change.

It won't last long in its current guise, even the snowflake Neil fucked it off after only a couple of weeks.
