He refuses to have anything to do with me since he got upset about something I honestly can't mind on.

Jesus, and with that news, it will never be on my list!

sadly GB news only has one program

it only has one reason for its entire existence: it thought there would be a huge audience out there for being anti-woke. Turns out there isn't, at least not for TV. (There's a fair amount of rightwing radio out there.) It cost £60 million to launch, much of it from the Discovery Channel people. Maybe they needed to do more research on the UK market.

i actually quite like it. NF is on every week anyway already. When he's not wanging on about the EU he's actually good to watch. I also love simon and whatserface who are on in the afternnons

I was thinking that they need to sign someone like Farage to make them interesting :-)

But they need a wide range of views if they are going to be opinion based. Otherwise it’s either dullsville or a right wing ranting shop and I’m fairly sure that isn’t what Neil intended.
Whatever he’s done seems to have created something very negative - which suggests to me that he was trying to eliminate stuff from news he didn’t like: ie all the edgy, interesting bits

I seem to remember they wanted Farage aboard right from the start; but maybe he didn't have the time.

Of course his new career might just be making anti-woke birthday cakes or something.

I get the idea that the role they hope for is that of "Fox News UK".

[Khandro]

'Fox News grew during the late 1990s and 2000s to become the dominant subscription news network in the U.S. As of September 2018, approximately 87,118,000 U.S. households (90.8% of television subscribers) received Fox News. In 2019, Fox News was the top-rated cable network, averaging 2.5 million viewers.' wiki.

British mainstream Media of course hate the very thought of GBNews so I would take their statistics & comments with a large pinch of sodium chloride.

[ichkeria]

No ones watching it because it’s boring

And amateurish

That’s the simple truth

[Mozz71]

Khandro, I think a lot of Fox's success is down to the fact they are the only Right Wing news network around, while the liberal stations are a pound a penny (CNN, CBS, MSNBC, ABC etc) all taking viewers off of each other.

Well it would be for you with your political beliefs!

I must admit I have only watched a couple of interviews, they were good though. I dont have a tv licence and so cant watch live TV. I suspect many of their target audience fall in that category too.

Still, was never going to be easy and will take time to bed in, see what its like in a years time and what viewing figures are then.

“ Well it would be for you with your political beliefs! ”

My “political beliefs”? !
And those would be?
Politics doesn’t come into it as far as I’m concerned. The bits I’ve forced myself to watch haven’t had any politics in them.

I hope GBN gets better and survives. Fox News at least is a professionally run operation. GBN currently is an embarrassment.

looks like you may even be able to watch Piers Morgan, ymb, you lucky thing. All your heroes at once :-)

mozz: "Corby- //He refuses to have anything to do with me since he got upset about something I honestly can't mind on.//

[Mozz71]

Tora - I'm just hoping you may break the habit of a lifetime and give a straight answer rather than the usual trolling.

[ToraToraTora]

what would you like a "straight" answer to?

[Mozz71]

What everybody has been asking. Why is GB news off your viewing list when they've suspended the knee taker? Isn't that the kind of thing you would support?
