I fully concur, it'll interesting to see the presenter portfolio & how it develops.

Will it be?

I reckon it will fall on it arse within a year at worst or be a niche new channel at best.
Most people want entertainment not real news.
Can you show me any evidence of Neil not holding every interviewee to account ?
Fingers crossed they don't get any names who indulge in gotcha journalism and instead do their job

It’ll be an expensive experiment if it does fail at £60m initial investment, which is pittance for media station.
However, IMO all new ventures need to be given the opportunity to prove itself.

Never been aware of Brillo being biased. Seems to enjoy grilling floppyticians of any rosette over an open flame.
Pray it continues.

There goes any attempt at impartiality, then.

How's that? She seems good at holding idiocy to account.

The Grauniad's take is interesting:
www.theguardian.com
It's not as left leaning as the Grauniad so it must be peddling right-wing views.
Andrew Neil launches 24-hour news channel to rival BBC and Sky
GB News aimed at those who feel ‘underserved and unheard’, says veteran broadcaster

Whatever you might think of her views, she isn't shy on expressing them.

Yay - our very own Fox news. Welcome to dumb Britain!

The new station is being backed by broadcaster Discovery, although it still needs to confirm tens of millions of pounds in investment before its launch. GB News said it hoped to create at least 120 positions, including more than 100 journalist jobs across the UK.
More like sniffing after a few jobs.

Good luck to them. Any attempts to get the BBC to acknowledge their own bias or mistakes fall on deaf ears.
Brillo was one of the few interviewers at the BBC who forensically dissected all his interviewees, irrespective of party or political hue. If the BBC are having a crisis (supposedly another c.450,000 people have stopped paying the licence fee this year), it's largely one of their own making.

I disagree - I don't see GB News being partisan like Fox, they'll hold everyone to account.

It's being set up as a right leaning organisation... FFS I can see it now a job for Farage, and that hateful Julia Half Wit Brewer.
