How is GB News doing  and is it any good?
The ratings were in and Andrew Neil was jubilant. Asked on Twitter how his primetime slot on the new GB News channel was going, he replied: Well last night at 8pm my show out-rated Sky News and BBC News Channel combined. Next question.  On launch night, last Sunday, an average of about 300,000 people, perhaps intrigued by the pre-launch fuss, watched the introductory programme he hosted. By Monday the audience for his 8pm show had halved, but that was still more than the 140,000 watching Sky News and BBC News. Sponsored  The crucial thing was that people were still watching and there is no doubt that GB News has made for fascinating viewing this week  though not necessarily for the reasons the broadcaster had intended.
