Remember when UKTV was dropped they ‘apparently’ started accepting bids for the EPG slots.

Same ‘might’ happen with GB News possibly taking it for higher prominence on the guide.
The news section has been spread out since the launch of Virgin Media and before if you look at its predecessors. With any luck, the Warner/Discovery merger could result in a similar move to put GB News "behind a paywall". That's assuming GB News lasts that long.

It would be nice if they replaced it - say with ABC News or CBS News, but I don’t think there are any such plans.
Perhaps NBC/Sky could revive their plans for an international version of Sky News to fill the gap.
