I think Andrew did not have much choice when he left BBC News. ITV did not want him, they have Peston who they poached from the BBC a few years ago. Channel 4 is far too politically different in tone for Andrew to feel comfortable there, and of course he could not go back to his old channel Sky News, so launching a new news channel was the only logical choice for him, as he would be wasted on 5 News.
