JK1985 post_id=38419 time= user_id=1347 Wrote:GB News is starting to do what ITV News Channel used to do, repeat news programmes at various times. ITV News Channel used to repeat the 5.30am Early Morning News twice from 6.00am - 7.00am seven days a week. They would also on a Saturday and Sunday repeat their 7.00am half hour news at 7.30am. And of course through the night, ITV News Channel repeated the ITV News at 10.30pm from 1.00am - 5.30am.

It is cheap, and gives breathing space to the news channel staff to rehearse, fix technical issues and and experiment with new programmes.

Clearly times have changed since then because some ITV regions have a pre-recorded 6pm bulletin every day because the same presenters do more than one. As long as it's clear to the audience the content is repeated or recorded and it's not misleading or inaccurate, it would seem to be permissable.

Their guests don't have a calibre. They're literally accepting anybody who's desperate enough to appear on their channel. Those who actually care about their image are staying well away.

I’m no GB News fan by a long stretch, but this is a silly comment. From what I’ve seen online, they get the exact some guests who frequently rotate GMB/Jeremy Vine/TalkRadio etc.

Owen is correct though it would be for nothing more than click bait and then trying to shot any left wing opinions down. The channel is just continuing to collapse slowly and I think it’s just a matter of time before Discovery pull the plug and stop funding it. Let’s be honest when the so called flagship presenter /face of the channel and chairman can’t be bothered with it and stops after 2 weeks with no sign of him coming back and resorting to right wing failed politicians like Farrage and Fox and crazed conspiracy theorists like Oliver Dolan and that bloke the Sun where even happy to get rid of ( forgot his name now ) then the channel really is in trouble. They is clearly no leadership it not been on air 4 months and it already has had several reshuffles repeats airing during what for a news channel is it’s prime slots and struggling to get any decent guests just shows what a farce of a channel it is. When even it target audience is turning off and nobody what to advertise on it then you really just have to ask how longer will it last. The so called Savour in Farrage won’t stay long either he is using them to try stay relevant as soon as something better comes along he will be off again with his pockets full of the limited budget the channel has. Let’s be honest the likes of McCoy and Stewart are only though for one last pay day they could very easily retire now if they wanted to and both probably know their dignity has all but gone by been associated with the channel. It will be gone by next Easter and wouldn’t surprise me if it quietly closes down round Christmas when even the 3 viewers it got will be busy to even notice.

Out of interest - have you any idea of what a "return" key is? That was some diatribe without hitting the return key there! Paragraphs do help you know. Sorry, don't take it to heart, I am just being playful.
