GB News - prelaunch

[Markymark]

A real USP for me, would be if the channel lacked any form of sports news ! 8-)

Possibly the presence of Kirsty Gallagher in the line up makes that unlikely..

Looking good on satellite. It can now be manually tuned on a Sky box.

[addlestones]

Any news on GBN weather forecasts?

[JK08]

So three morning shows on UK TV now using the word 'Breakfast'.. I do miss originality.
I was expecting something more like 'Britain This Morning' or 'GB:AM'

Was expecting a big name at Breakfast alongside Kirsty

And after "Brazier & Muroki" they've announced the pairing "De Peiro & Halligan""

Do we know if these are simply pairings or also the names of the programmes?

[Brekkie]

I know we've questions about their bias but I doubt they'll go as far as clapping Boris Johnson in the headlines.

And what does that have to do with pres?

Someone literally mentioned clapping in the music. It's an attempted humerous comment in response reflecting the perceived attitude of those behind GB News.

Can we go back to the days where people just sigh at such poor attempts at raising a smile and move on, rather than claiming everything is bloody "political" and sending so many reported posts to admin that they tire of it all and shut the forum down.

You can see with the Colin Brazier / Mercy Muroki and Simon McCoy / Alexandra Phillips pairs they're putting very experienced hands with relative newcomers.

Assuming these are actual programme titles the use of surnames suggests these shows will be personality led.

In isolation I agree, but what does get tiring is the same repeat offenders seemingly unable to contain their little political digs at almost any opportunity.

Back to presentation - I actually don't mind the music in the video as it implies there will be a three note ident to denote each syllable of "GBN/GB News", and I like that sort of thing.

I just wish they'd decide on either GBN or GB News as the brand. I assume they use GB News because it's easier to get the social media handles than GBN.

Alex confirming her and Simon’s show will air from 3pm until 6pm:

EDIT: Tweet deleted - originally said

IT’S OUT!

I have a new man in my life!

Can’t wait to entertain the nation with this utter legend. He already has me in fits in rehearsals. It’ll be a miracle if I can hold it together on air

Expect a very different serving of news every afternoon on @GBNEWS from 3 til 6

New tweet reads:

Suppose we can assume daytime will be in three hours blocks now...

06:00 The Great British Breakfast
09:00 Brazier & Muroki
12:00 DePiero & Halligan

I assume the N looks like NI to make it GB & NI.

The branding for the breakfast show sounds like a fry up.
