Likely temporary but I much prefer this to normal; Farage is a good broadcaster (whether you agree with him or not) but IMHO he's better on his own or as part of a panel rather than a co-host.
I was thinking this myself. Today’s line up worked very well.
Farage….whatever people think of his politics, he’s undeniably an excellent presenter, but as you say he is far better as sole presenter.
He’s now been missing from this specific show for two weeks, I wonder what’s going on. No Dehenna Davidson this week either. A consistent lineup would be better.
Is it only me or does everyone else love Portillo whether on the much-missed This Week or GBTJ?
Good choice, GB News.
Technical meltdowns don’t escape anyone on GB News, not even big signing Eamonn Holmes. See if you can tell when they really start to get angry.

Prime example of the gallery panicking this morning when the slightest thing goes wrong… throw straight to an ad break. A guest didn’t unmute himself so there was no audio. Even Eamonn said calm down don’t panic.

It’s a mistake, the kind of which hasn’t happened for a fair while. It happens in broadcasting and it’s no longer a common occurrence on GB News. No need to overreact.
Turns out
this is the reason why Eamonn joined GBN in the first place.
Of course I said it sarcastically.

The advert break didn't go according to plan on their web stream as they ended up with the audio from the TV ads running over the video of the promos.
It made for rather amusing viewing as the speech, music and sound effects were strangely in sync for much of the break. The last clip in the sequence is probably the most amusing.

Goodness that really is quite awful. You do have to feel for Isabel actually in that bit where you can tell she's suddenly told they're switching from clips of politicians to vox pops. It's no fault of her own but it makes her look ridiculous - going from 'let's hear what some of those politicians have had to say' and when that's not what's on the running order she has to go 'enough of what the politicians think what do you think'.
And once again for all the talk from GB News (and also on here) about how they are 'different' to the mainstream media even in those clips you have the most generic breakfast branding possible, vox pops and a paper review which practically every news channel has all hosted by former Sky News presenters. While in the evening it's reheated right-wing bait like you'd get on TalkRadio.
I do find this thread slightly odd - it's one of the very few places online where this is treated as a serious news channel when that stopped being the case after Week 1 elsewhere. And I can't remember any other news broadcaster having a debate as to whether we'd be going to war with France the way GB News did.
My sympathy is with the poor pilot who had to run the desk this morning during that almighty cock-up.

We discuss the presentation. ‘Cos that’s what we’re all interested in.
Whether the channel gets taken seriously anywhere else isn't all that relevant, it’s a channel and it has live presentation so we discuss it ‘cos….well that’s what we do!

For someone who seems to profess not to care, you do actually seem to care enough to watch and comment on it.
Surprised you can see the screen with your nose firmly planted in the air :-)

I also felt for Isabel. She was fuming.
BREAKING: First ratings for GBN in 2022.
This is what was discussed just a few days ago... We speculate that Breakfast would be record-smashing, or at least it will lead to a decline at the same slot's shows on BBC, Sky, ITV and whatnot.

Sorry, I mistakenly got the wrong week in. Apologies.
Technically it's not last week per se, but the latest available is the week before that. And that's what was shown: nothing.
The "actual" last week's figures will only come next Monday at 6p, or whenever one of us finds it.
But it's safe to say that record-breaking is in terms of GBN's previous breakfast shows, not leading either BBC, ITV or Sky's. There's just no way the latter happens.
That makes more sense - whilst they may not be on BBC/ITV-beating level, I'd be very surprised if they were unmeasurable. I'd say the breakfast show will likely make a couple of top-15 appearances now.
The last quote says the new show may have made a couple appearances among the top 15.
Well, here's a reality check: Neither the weekday nor weekend version of the new Breakfast occupies ANY positions. Sounds (un)believable depending upon how you viewed GBN, but they're nowhere on the top 15.
So who occupies these positions? For a start: every episode of Farage and Dan Wootton Tonight.
Then there're 3 apperances from Dewbs & Co, 2 from Tom Harwood, and 1 each from Mark Steyn and Headliners.
#1 entry only gets 74,200, while #15 entry gets 33,100.
To put insult to injury regarding breakfast, Sky's show (weekday or weekend) makes 3 appearances in top 15 (2 Monday (although just two half-hours of the 9am hour) and 1 Sunday (8:30am half-hour)).
I guess we can now doubt Eamonn's "record figures" claim as much as we suspect we would/could/should be...
