What does the arrival of GB News really mean for the UK? Samuel Fishwick ‘I like big challenges,’ says Andrew Neil, the Scottish broadcaster hired as GB News’s chairman and top presenter last September.
That’s lucky because there are plenty. Critics have been quick to slam the upstart TV station as a ‘British Fox News’, which is nonsense, says Neil. Yes, there will be sections entitled ‘Wokewatch’ and ‘Mediawatch’ but this won’t be ‘shouty, angry telly’. It will have to conform to Ofcom impartiality rules, for a start, having secured a licence to air in 96 per cent of UK homes on all major platforms: Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media, YouView and Freesat. ‘I don’t think there’s a market for that kind of hard-right stuff in this country,’ he says, sitting in his home study at a vast desk beneath a glittering gallery of Spectator magazine covers (he has been chairman of its parent group, Press Holdings, since 2008).
