£60 million is for three years funding. Extra funding is for growth, from what I’ve read, it’s for new studio facilities, better technology, subtitles, additional broadcasting talent.

But why is it a disgrace?

Is it because only your pathetic liberal lefty views are the only views that count?

If so, that is wrong and you are the disgrace.
All these right wing views are also pathetic garbage as well.

Re: GB News / Talk TV

Farage is still tops. He's got it absolutely right on all the issues he raises and he gives people with opposing views a very fair hearing.

I like the format, especially Dewbs & Co. Mark Steyn says it like it is (although I disagree with him on vaccines). Wonderful station.

Accidentally hit 604 this morning to find Ann diamond and some other bloke looking forward to king William and the lovely Catherine.... Obviously the course of time will determine when.....


Cringe worthy stuff 13 hours after the Queen died.

Re: GB News / Talk TV

Understand that Darren Grimes read about his dismisal from GB News on Twitter whilst on holiday, tweeted his denial then deleted it.

Obviously cleared up the "misunderstanding" between him and the Junior Staffer - is he practicing to be a Tory Whip?

https://www.politicalite.com/media/e...unior-staffer/

I wonder if he will restore his Twitter feed,which he deleted (nothing before September 25...)

For a loss-making channel, £32m still seems pretty high to me!

GB News loses half its value after Discovery sale

It’s emerged the valuation of GB News has more than halved after Discovery withdrew its investment from the right-leaning channel.

In August, Discovery sold its share following its own merger with WarnerMedia.

According to The Times quoting accounts lodged by Discovery’s UK arm at Companies House, Discovery, which bought its 25% share for £20 million, but sold it for just £8 million.

The share sale values GB News at £32 million, compared with £80 million when it launched in June last year.

Ofcom investigates GB News over ‘anti-vaccine comments’ made by guest

Ofcom has launched an investigation into GB News after a guest on the Mark Steyn programme made comments about the Covid-19 vaccine rollout which potentially breach the regulator’s broadcasting code.

The broadcasting watchdog received 411 complaints about Naomi Wolf’s comments, which she made while in conversation with Steyn, 62, on October 4.

During the interview with Canadian author and radio and television presenter Steyn, Wolf discussed her claim that the Covid-19 vaccination could cause problems with women’s health.

After beginning its investigation into the free-to-air television and radio news channel, which launched last year, Ofcom said: “We consider that comments made during an interview with author and journalist Dr Naomi Wolf about the coronavirus vaccine rollout raise potential issues under our Broadcasting Code.
