Id wager 44minutes of BBC news covers the period of somebody turning the tv on in the morning to then going to work. Easy to have a longer viewing time if you're a retired racist with this shite on in the background while you post picture of poppies on Facebook.

"We’re proud that most of our viewers live outside London."

Are they proud that 20% of their viewers live outside the UK? (And a similar percentage of their presenters.)

Honestly surprised she wasn't on there already.

"Award-winning" is an odd qualifier. I would have chosen "discredited" for shopping her sources to the police.

Looks like Neil is gone for good. He might personally be a bit of a prick with his political and business views but he was the best in the business for a while at really grilling politicians from all sides.

Without him, GB News will be dead in the water. What politician of any party will actually want to be seen dead on that channel which is basically made up of the second tier "stars" from TalkRadio. Wootton and Dolan don't exactly get the high profile interviews, and I can't see any politician of significance wanting to appear on Farage.

Farage is just absolutely dire. His show is basically one long episode of his boring YouTube rants. It would be offensive if it wasn't drowned is such absolute boredom.

It doesn't surprise me that Neil has gone. GBN have realised that Farage rants are the only way they're going to get a regular audience and I guess that grates with Neil. I do wonder what that means for the other, more mainstream, presenters they launched with.

Given his track record I'm not really sure that's true unless it's a politician he doesn't agree with.

What sort of ranges would we be looking at for poor, okay/decent, good, excellent etc?

I'm assuming that top one at 63,700 is still pretty good, or is it not? I have no idea, but I am keen to know exactly how badly this thing is failing so I can revel in it.
