GB News channel -- inital impressions?

They have started broadcasting on freeview channel 236.

Their clock seems to be 10 seconds out.

The sound is slightly out of sync with the picture.

Not very good or watchable!

I still remember the launch of Channel 5 so I won't write it off just yet.

On Sky in HD - The Andrew Neil opening appeared to be a poor SD video with HD graphics, and the sound was way out of sync.

Will give GB News a chance but the SD picture on Freeview is not great but I have seen worse.

Dont think the breakfast show will take many viewers away from BBC Breakfast and although GMB has slowly been losing viewers cant see them losing viewers to GB Breakfast.

First impressions and most likely the ONLY impression ....

RUBBISH!

Why? Well, I am deaf and depend upon subtitles and the new channel offers none.

Early days yet but I am hoping for a network without an agenda or being overly partisan, and one that won't give politicians soft-ball questions such as one I heard recently asking Boris that when the lockdown was fully over, who the first person he would be shaking hands with? Really?
And so long as I never have to see Kay Burley ever again.

Not watched enough to pass comment on the content.

However many YouTube content producers have superior production levels than GB News.
