It's like Sky News in the good old pre-Comcast days at the moment. Isabel and Eamonn with David Wooding and Liz Kershaw doing the papers!!
Sound out of sync yet again….Really
I’ve noticed some increased coverage of moments of GB News on the Mail Online in the last week or so. I wonder if it could be the start of some sort alliance to ward off a strengthened News UK offering.
It seems Farage is coming from the Westminster studio full time now. It looks much better than before.
They have a Westminster studio?

It’s the same one the BBC have used for the Andrew Neil interviews in the past. Farage has used it once or twice in the past, namely when they had to record one episode and there is no spare space to use at GBN. It seems the shows been coming from this set all week, so it’s like they’ve decided to up their game due to Talk.

Nice view - shame about the set. Those clunky pillars ruin it really.
Lots to digest in a long read from The New Statesman on the personality clashes and technical issues in GB News' first year:

Not sure if it has been reported before, but it confirms that Andrew Neil almost resigned before launch and, post-launch, proposed that the channel be taken off air for a relaunch in September.

Fascinating read.
I really do think GB News has come a long way since its launch.
Personally, I don't think it'll be here in a couple of years' time. I just don't think they can sustain it.
GB News accidently has become relevant with their interview with Neil Parish earlier this week.

Will be interesting to see with the year mark coming whether anyone coming to the end of a one year contract gets the boot.

Another article that overlooks the fact that Farage was there from the beginning with the Sunday morning show. Bit harsh on Eamonn and Isabel and no mention of Stephen Dixon with the breakfast shows, which seem to be performing well. The fact they're like Sky News ten years ago and don't have Burley is why they're successful!!
That is a really interesting article. Took a long time to get there but the last paragraph made me laugh.
No doubt that the anonymous former presenter has to be Simon McCoy surely - indeed for all it's woes you can pretty much count the presenters that have left on one hand and as Neil and Harri seem to be quoted themselves that only really leaves McCoy and Kirsty Gallagher. And no surprised that Alex Phillips appears to be as popular off screen as she is on screen.
Bit frustrating though they refer to it as the first news channel in 30 years when BBC News 24 and the ITN/ITV News Channel had subsequently launched.
