So got a bit of a second wind once the football finished. Have we the BBC/Sky graph for last night for comparison?

If you were the pilot on tonight overseeing Andrew's show I think you'd probably want to get it right!

"Woke Watch" was pure trash, as predicted. Lazy television and deservedly full of embarrassing, and hilarious, errors.

Whatever you think of the content, is the only hour that’s seems like an actual television programme. The set of lack there of is terrible but it still looks better than most of what else has gone out so far.

The audio isn't fantastic in "the bunker". I think I read somewhere (on here?) that there are windows behind the black padding. I wonder if it's some attempt at acoustic treatment?

Its a fairly simple hour of broadcast really. Single headed, in-person interviews, no Zoom calls and OB's beset by audio problems.

They should do things more simply whilst they get used to the tech to allow it to bed in.

This rant attacking BBC, ITV and Sky is very self-absorbed. What a shame to see Andrew Neil stoop so low.

As I say, Andrew knows what he's doing which helps.

Sort of makes sense. If GB News will never contribute to the UK pool by providing resources (not that they have any) why should they get access to it for free.

I think Wootton is getting on Neil’s nerves.

I almost like the post-apocalyptic feel of the whole thing.

It pains me to say it but the presentation of Dan Wootton’s show is better than the rest of the output. He’s doing a very blatant copy of Tucker Carlson though. Simon McCoy would be good in this slot.

I think it's rich to call the MSM out for not covering the protest when GB News haven't themselves.

I've been watching GB News quite abit today and I've not seen any coverage of the Anti Lockdown protests but now Dan Wootton is moaning about "main stream media" ignoring it!

And the moment it went live at 7pm yesterday GBN became the mainstream media.

Andrew Neil as a veteran journalist is quite clearly weary of unguarded or misleading comments from anchors. He corrected Wootton for claiming that scientists have been saying the vaccine "smashed the link" between cases and hospitalisations, when instead they have only said the link has been weakened. Neil last night emphasised that the channel would be rigorous in terms of journalistic standards, and doesn't want to start a slippery slope.

There was a tiny amount of coverage amounting to a VT and Michelle Dewberry muttering over it during Dewbs & Co.
