Quote:Dear [viewers],

We’re thrilled to announce our first major national advertising campaign – and we want you to be among the first to see it.

From today, you’ll see our ads popping up in newspapers and on social media, posters, and electronic billboards around the country.

Like us, they’re honest, punchy, and straight to the point.

We’re kicking off the campaign with these three ads - we’ll share others with you as they unfold in coming weeks.

We hope you like them and will share them.

Many people haven’t heard of us yet and we’re keen to spread the word about what we do, and what we stand for at GB News.

We’re proud to be a voice for the ‘silent majority’ of Britons we serve:

• The 64% who say traditional television news is too one-sided and stifles debate;

• The 65% who feel there’s too much political correctness, and

• The 66% who say other channels are too dominated by a London-centric perspective.

Thank you for all your support and encouragement so far – it really means a lot to us as we establish ourselves as Britain’s News Channel.

With very best wishes,

GB News

Quote:According to Michael Moszynski, chief executive officer of London Advertising, this is the first advertising campaign for a national broadcaster that targets consumers outside London – where GB News clearly sees its core audience. The agency commissioned research by Yonder, which surveyed over 2,000 people and found 66% of respondents agreed that television news was dominated by the London media bubble.

No. You have to dig it yourself. And it's here so you don't have to.

It's not mentioned but the two other percentages were obviously also derived from this survey.
