Yay‼️ GB News Channel about to launch ...

Do you know if it's subscription or freeview? I've got Prime and Netflix so if it's another subscription I won't be watching even though I do like a news channel.

Just checked, it is on freeview so I will have a look.

Yes, I read about that and I like Andrew Neil too.

Thanks for your post Urmstongram. How will we access it though. Will it just be on terrestrial TV? I’m probably sounding very stupid as I don’t know very much about it but I do like to listen to Andrew Neil. Any other information you have would be much appreciated.

Just read your post theworriedwell great it’s on free view. Thanks.

It’s Freeview.
Will check the channel.

236 apparently.

The UK’s newest news channel in 30 years.
Exciting.

That makes sense. 231 BBC news, 233 Sky news, 234 RT, 235 AlJazeera. So all the news channels together. I can flick from one to the other so handy.

Thank you urmstongran it is exciting and hopefully there will be more balanced reporting.

The new channel will be chaired by former BBC political presenter Andrew Neil and promises to "change the face of news and debate in the UK".

It was announced last week that Neil will also lead the channel's evening news coverage.

Ex-BBC host Simon McCoy, ITV veteran Alastair Stewart and ex-Sun journalist Dan Wootton are also on the line-up.

It will launch with a special show called Welcome To GB News, and will be available on Freeview channel 236 as well as other platforms including Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat.

GB News will provide "a new approach to how news is done - stories that really matter to people in the United Kingdom", its Freeview listing says.

Yr welcome Gwyneth!

Sometimes it is better to just not respond.

Anyone who get excited about Fox News on speed, well

unprintable.

Thanks Urm. I'll be there!

I will definitely look in and see if I like it.

" With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone."

Just read it Aires on Sunday 6th June at 8pm. Not sure this is the best time for a first showing?

Thanks for the information Urms
I heard about this a while back but didn’t realise its launch was imminent.

I too am eagerly awaiting it.
Exciting news indeed !

Apparently they are going to have a section called "Wokewatch" and presenters will be free to say what they think.

I'll probably watch for the entertainment value. Once, anyway.

It definitely sounds like my type of programme then!
Any person or organisation which calls out this awful insidious ‘woke’ nonsense gets my vote.
I think I also read that Piers Morgan may be involved.
I’m by no means a big fan of his broadcasting style, but, like a lot of people I was in complete agreement with his views of the Meghan Markle interview.

I’m glad Alistair Stewart will be one of the newscasters. At 68y I think he has gravitas. Lends an air of authority to the new channel in my opinion.

I’ll certainly take a look at it, Andrew Neil is a formidable interviewer and always worth watching.

Definitely worth a peek ?

It won’t suit some on here ...
