This thread will be opened at about 7.30pm on Sunday June 13th for discussion of the launch of GB News.
The existing thread will be closed.
Please remember the following when you post:
- Anything which perpetuates negative stereotypes or prejudices about people based on who they are, where they are from, or what they believe, is inappropriate.
- Discussion of political matters on the forum is strongly discouraged, as they can be divisive and encourage trolling. The only time that political discussion is acceptable on the forum, is to discuss presentation of major events (such as elections and important announcements). Members are asked to keep their personal thoughts on political matters to themselves, and not to post their opinions of politicians (or parties) on the forum.
"Its the final countdown!"
But seriously, welcome to the launch. I know I aint a mod, and I will probably get a warning for this, but being the first to comment (other than rob) Lets get the final 30 (now 27) mins started!
I assume somebody will be capturing the launch?

I am and I'm sure Rob via his TV Live YT channel will as well.

And GB News themselves have a live stream on their site and YouTube.

It appears so.
Looking at that and rehearsal pictures we've seen it doesn't look like anyone will be social distancing. They could be doing it like some US shows such as TODAY where presenters who have the vaccine don't have to distance or just scrapping it entirely.
I'd say all 4 hours of tonight's launch should be captured. Then commercials could be edited out later.

I'd like to see it on YouTube as the picture quality in SD Freeview is no better than VHS.

They did say they would be streaming on YouTube. It probably might start when the channel launches in 22 mins.
There’s a channel launching called GB News. Somebody really should have mentioned.

Under 20 minutes! YouTube stream still not up...
I probably just have mild OCD but I'm not a fan of the spacing between different headlines and the time in the box; it just looks a bit odd...
