Re: GB News
Please can we have a news channel that gives news not opinions ,spats ,what he , she ,they should have done. Or a plug for book , film etc. Harping back to Euronews with no comment . Or does it still broadcast in that format ?

Making quality news costs more money than having live talking heads.

Gone round the funders with his begging bowl again.
Unfortunately for GB News, key investor Discovery will now be part of a group which includes CNN, making GB News potentially superfluous to it.

That would be relevant if cnn was a UK news channel ?
Having said that what is most revealing from figures posted is that over 80% of the population don’t watch news channels.
Couple that with the pathetic circulation figures of printed media and it’s quite clear Joe Public royally don’t give one for “news”
Or more likely don’t trust or believe any of it…..

I think the second option is the most likely Julian.

If Warner Bros Discovery is serious about a news service for the UK, it would make more sense now to expand CNN into the UK than invest in a separate entity.

This is 2021 and the Internet is the place people go for news in the UK.

Generic gossip, perhaps. But in terms of breaking important stories, it's still the traditional media particularly well-resourced papers/websites like The Sun and The Guardian that deliver important exclusives. As we saw this weekend.
Imagine the impact on GB News's viewing figures if they had had the Hancock story first.

Neil said from the outset that it would not be a rolling news channel, however, I think that is a mistake, even if it just allocated specific times of the day to rolling news, or have top of the hour bulletins for 15 minutes and then it can choose to discuss elements of those topics brought up after within the same hour.

Yes, I agree with that assessment.
