GB News: Launch

[JK1985]

I have seen so many people online building up their hopes for this news channel. Two hours in, and I bet those hopes are dashed.

I have to say the ads not being full screen looks naff IMO. Reminds me of those YouTube channels that reupload clips of shows with a border added.

No reference to the abrupt end to the Farage segment - straight into the next item after the break

Going by Twitter (I know, a less than reliable barometer), lots are just laughing at people laughing at the tech hiccups.

I have to be honest I want so badly to like this channel but right now it's a train wreck.

This is how I imagine TV-AM during the strike was like, minus the Batman and Happy Days.

With respect the target audience are not likely to be online as much. Personally I like what I see so far, it is different. I willing to give it a chance.

Clearly Red Bee have their timings for going into commercial breaks which hasn't been given to the gallery team. Cutting off Farage like that is sloppy.

I have to say I'm not enthusiastic about the set.

I mean, it's barely a set. They do look like they constructed the entire set and the funishings for no more than £20,000 and that's including all the various positions.

Lord Sugar’s gone. So predictable …

[JK08]

Well, I lasted two hours which I feel is pretty good going.. back to Sky who I suddenly appreciate a whole lot more.

[L1]

Now lost Alan Sugar :| :|

[Cassia Tuna]

Wow, Lord Sugar just disappeared!

[eyeTV]

The 'Superstar Panel' are coming back

It is a regular occurrence on Sky, I assume they also use Red Bee?

Oh dear Lord Sugar going blank was unfortunate. Got him back now. They need to sort out the audio ASAP. All different levels.

Shouldn't have used the Amstrad...
