But i think thats where this "VOICE OF GOD" style of "newsreader-presenting" fails, because when there is a fast moving breaking style sometimes you have to just stop drop the robotic facade. Inform that viewers that we have fast moving developments and the story is still fluid at this hour, I'm just being told the latest that we are getting into our newsroom. Instead of staring into the camera like a deer caught in headlights. Look down and write down what you are being told in our IFB. They do this on CNN, and MSNBC and hundreds of local tv stations across Canada/US.  JUST PAUSE. (Gallery should have given him the quick bullet points on what just happened and whats next and I dont see anything wrong with asking the gallery a question) Take a breath and then resume.  Start at the top and run it all down again."Here is where are at this hour and what we know in this fast developing story. We are being told blah blah..."

But unfortunately This is just exposes chinks in GBNEWS ability to gather and quickly disseminate breaking news smoothly.

I think Martin Daubney is just simply not cut out for live broadcasting. I remember one edition of GB News Breakfast he presented where he just left the programme midway through some headlines leaving Ellie Costello to present the rest of the programme alone. I think the nerves get to him and it just isn’t the right path for him.

Don’t think it’s been mentioned, but content under the ‘GBN America’ brand has started to appear.

Just a DOG and a new sting in terms of branding from what I’ve seen. But it may give us an idea of what Erron Gordon era of GB News might look like.

Politics aside. The economics of US content make sense but this seems an odd pivot for a news brand that wants to focus on the topics that matter to viewers 'outside the Westminster bubble' or not 'in the metropolitan liberal elite'. 

Their press release on GB News Linkedin page seems to suggest they are hiring local staff in the US to cover the GBN America operations.

There is some suggestion one of the backers of GB news may purchase the Telegraph. If this occurs it will get interesting.

Going after the Sky News Australia audience. The latter has built up quite a following in America because of their editorial slant.

There is a US election coming up, and with Farage giving them a good connection with Donald Trump, his team and the american conservatives, I expect they are going to lean in quite a bit on that, as well as having a UK election coming next year, its going to be wall to wall politics for us.

The coverage of these elections would give the GBN branding team a lot to play with.

Extraordinary row between Andrew and Bev at the start (around 9:40am onwards) of Britain's Newsroom this morning. Huge row between them both about Russell Brand and Bev's tweet. Have never quite seen anything like it.

Also today they've been found to be in breech for having Tory politicians interviewing a Tory chancellor. Can't see it leading to any change in their hiring policy though.

It's been uploaded.


I often watched Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire and at times it got heated, but I think the main factor was that Bev had put out a misguided statement and she was challenged live on tv. Are they often a pair? I think the pairings might be adjusted......
