Has anybody tuned in to this channel which began operations on Sunday June 13th.Instigated by Andrew Neil,among others,with the intention of breaking the stranglehold of the main stream media to provide an alternative "non woke" view of events.
There were claims,this morning,that it had more viewers than the BBC News channel.Watch this space?

You can watch it live to a limited extent on line. The Looney lefties are up in arms and are trying to make advertisers pull their advertising, accusing it of 'promulgating hate and bigotry", even before it had started broadcasting. Its amazing how the intolerant left cant see the irony of their own intolerance. When has Andrew Neil ever shown any bias, hate or bigotry in his interviewing?

Absolutely correct.The looney lefties accept no view contrary to their own and their usual suspects complained to the companies who were advertising with the station.Inevitably some of these companies apologised for nothing at all and some of them have had a rethink and are advertising again.Andrew Neil is a fierce interviewer who terrifies politicians without fear or favour unlike some of the BBC superstars with an ego bigger than the planet.

Andrew Neil isn’t the only presenter.On 2 March, Inaya Folarin Iman, a 24-year-old journalist and formerBrexit Partycandidate,was announced as another five-day-a-week host.Former Brexit PartyMember of the European ParliamentAlexandra Phillipswas hired on 5 March.Hmm, I wonder why the pesky left are concerned?In June 2021, several brands includingVodafone,IKEA,Kopparbergs Brewery,Grolsch,Nivea,Pinterest,SpecsaversandOctopus Energypulled advertising from GB news, many of whose ads had been aired without their knowledge. The pesky left again?

Wikipedia didn't post it on Talk Quesada Forum did it? You did.
They and you could have been more balanced by reporting those companies who reinstated their adverts instead of those that withdrew.Failing to mention,of course,the much longer list of companies who did advertise.
Neither was there a mention of the large number of Brits who threatened to boycott the products of those companies who withdrew their adverts.
Balance and a contrary opinion is something that woke lefty liberals just will not tolerate.

So refreshing to see a real news outlet and not the left globalist agenda. Now the people of GB can see what really is going on especially in the US, the real stories and news. They will try everything to shut this down but the peoples voice is slowly winning over the WOKE agenda.

I watched a few minutes a few days ago.
A young African-Caribbean female who I had never seen before and a white guy who I vaguely recognised talking to Sajid Javid.
She was hopeless and he didnt say anything while I watched so I switched to Sky News.
p.s. Sajid was good though.

I think this new channel is very much a work in progress. The first few days, every presenter, except Andrew Neil (who to be fair as been there & done it) was a bit hyper. It has calmed down a bit over the week & the discussions seem a bit more calmer & most importantly, balanced.
Just a pity that a few left wing labour activists were hellbent on trying to scupper free speech by issuing idle threats to companies who were advertising on GBNews.
