GB News: Launch

[JK1985]

Lord Sugar looks like he doesn't want to be on air.

Lord Sugars zoom shot/set is two times brighter then GBNews itself :lol:

[L1]

God this is becoming a right farce :?

Lord Sugar, appearing from his throne room in his Chigwell mansion - love the curtains.

Is Lord Sugar a bit drunk?

They need to rename this channel to GBJ, great British joke, because this is shocking.

Some clips from the first hour have popped up on YouTube. It looks like while the video is 1080p/50fps, the channel may be outputting at 30fps as the motion judder is awful.

Lord Sugar “I really do believe, we’ve got to get out of this pandemic”, very insightful.

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.

The impression I had was that GBN could adjust all that themselves? Maybe I'm optimistic. (Also, it's not like they have to worry about hitting the news on time or anything).
I do wonder what, if anything, Red Bee have been saying to them about the picture quality in recent days…

Also the screen-shrinking animation into the ad breaks doesn't look great - and it feels like that would be down to Red Bee…

[i.h]

says a lot that Sugar's webcam seems more HQ than the studio cameras at times

[JK1985]

To be brutal - YouTubers making videos in their bedrooms have better quality than GB News. Adam Beales, a lovely Derry YouTuber has better HD video quality than GB News.

Is Lord Sugar a bit drunk?

Can't blame him if he had a drink, he must be nervous. He's an unheard voice no other broadcaster has ever dared to give a platform to! :lol:

Oh well, an interesting bit of viewing. I'm off back to the actual news on BBC One for now. I'll be interested to see what the daytime output looks like though.

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.

Sky have their own playout facilities and also have contracts with other channels.

So in two hours, how many news stories have they reported?
