They've been running all week and before launch on Jazz FM. There's another right now at time of posting
Nigel Farage hosting the new Sunday politics show, but there was evidently a sound issue so they've now gone to the breakdown slide.
<t>Goodbye TVF. Hello TVLF.</t>
I’m not a fan of Nigel, however, he is doing a good job with The Political Correction. Is this pre-recorded?

He was a very competent presenter on LBC.
Shame the start of the show cocked up, but it's going well now.

Yeah - was going to say i'd heard them pre-launch too. I think it's only Bauer owned stations? I suppose Wireless/Global would see it as competition to their own stations.

Not entirely sure why you’d think a show discussing current events, in a studio that is in use from 6am until midnight every day, and that had a minute-long breakdown at the start, would be pre-recorded? ?
Farage certainly is a competent presenter to be fair to him. I’m surprised they haven’t made more of his appearance given his fan base. Not sure about the programme name though, sounds a little… sinister?
Whether you like him or hate him, you would have thought that they would have wanted to promote Farage before launch considering he is such a big name in politics, but then again you would probably get a loud bunch on social media rallying against him

Well, if so we're back to the situation of 'unlawful' rejection of advertisers if that was the case, (discussed about 100 pages back in here)

As anticipated, the sound on the first Free Speech Nation podcast is absolutely abysmal. It's just about tolerable on Youtube but in audio only form on iTunes, it must be an even harder listen.

As seen on BBC Newswatch
I just don't get this channel, although I guess I'm not meant to :lol: . Unsilenced, working class voices and opinions including from Nigel Farage (!), AP McCoy chatting to Kirsty Gallacher about their time on the golf course, Andrew Doyle, the rent-a-quote plumber, and the paper review gangs from the national press. These are same media establishment faces seen on BBC and Sky for decades, so they're totally misleading their viewers with this false premise!
The presenter I saw this morning, Rosie Wright, was accomplished and sensibly silent during the political discussion and will undoubtedly make it out to a professional outfit before long.
Also the presentational issues...never mind the gaffes but they're inconsistent. Sometimes the name captions just feature names, sometimes the subject they're referring to, sometimes they're half the size of the screen, sometimes they're not...just find a style and stick to it!

Could do with having a wider spectrum of political guests though, right now we've got a president of a political party, a Tory MP and a former Tory candidate in a three way. Couple that with the name and it looks like a show that is designed to be unbalanced.

There must be some clause for advertising products too similar to your own though? As you'd never see an advert for The Sun inside the Daily Star, for example. (Unless it's all gentlemen agreements, but I doubt Wireless would like GB News being advertised on TalkRadio)
Although - you do see ITV/Channel 4 taking spots on other channels. But isn't there a rule that they can't advertise a specific time of programme on the ad?

Indeed - Jazz FM were asked about this very thing by an anger listener a couple of days ago:

The first hour had Farage, a Conservative MP and Labour member former Fire Service union official.
