GB News has claimed a major milestone for its TV ratings as it beat BBC News Channel and Sky News for average viewership in several key slots in July.
However Press Gazette understands the total weekly reach for the BBC News Channel through July remained more than twice the size of GB News while Sky News was almost double.
This means GB News appears to be engaging fewer people in total each month but the high average viewership means their audience stay watching for longer.

I wish they’d have their licence revoked

Isn’t that censorship

If it was a newest channel it would already have been revoked, because they keep breaking Ofcom standards.
Unfortunately, they’re using the same loophole that Fox News uses in the US… “We’re an entertainment channel that covers current affairs. We are not a news channel.”
It’s staggering it works tbh, especially since their name literally has “news” in it.

They call themselves news but don’t follow the rules of TV news, you know, be balanced and truthful, because they say they are entertainment. The whole point of a license is to stop that kind thing. It should been long gone.

That would be a case for censorship if they reported the actual news but they don’t. They’re like fox news in the United States, they literally make things up.

Only if there’s not legitimate reason to have it revoked.
