    Bit rough round the edges so far.

    Think some of the presenters are a bit inexperienced. Michelle Dewberry has been given here own show on it. And you can tell she is inexperienced.

    It may get better over time.

      Agree its occasionally bitty.

      But its 140 staff with 120 journalists. Dewberry has never presented a radio show (AFAIK) but she is quite good at get a point across.

      £60 million is peanuts for running a TV channel.

          Wow low budget.

          I watched a few mins this morning, and the sound kept cutting out. Lots of lip sync issues also.

            In December 2020, Paul Marshall, a hedge fund manager, was in talks to invest £10 million into GB News.[16] On 6 January 2021, GB News reached its £60 million fundraising aim, which it said was oversubscribed. The majority of the £60 million came from Discovery, the investment firm Legatum,[17] and Marshall, who said he was investing in a personal capacity. GB News said it would recruit 140 staff, including 120 journalists, and would also launch "streaming, video-on-demand and audio services".[17]
