Murdoch Cancels his New Channel

[johnnyboy]

I'm not sure there's even the market for one new news channel, the existing ones don't exactly set the world alight ratings wise.

However they are being funded by very rich people trying to promote their agenda, so does there have to be a market for them, they're vanity products? The same goes for the likes of RT, AJ, TRT etc.

The small audience that actually wants to feast on a diet of right wing bubble and culture war stirring are already doing it elsewhere, and from much more established sources, there's no shortage of what they offer online. It just depends how compelling and different GB News will be, they'll have to create their market

Thanks for letting us know your political opinions, Inspector Sands.

It would fit right into the Guardian comments section. Unfortunately, this is not the Guardian - it's TV Live Forum.
