It’s a colossal company, enormous talent pool and so on.Looking at Global's portfolio, they are the main commercial rival to the BBC in regards to radio at least - if Global ever decided to dip their feet into television, that would be interesting to see.
You are right, looking at their talent pool, Ashley Tabor-King has a brilliant company there, exceeding Bauer Media.
To be honest, it is nice seeing the BBC now getting a run for their money, they have had decades of superiority and it is now time for them to have some real competitors.
Global have already dipped into television by providing music channels of their radio brands. It didn't work.
They've been more sensible with the use of LBC for visual content, clipping parts of the phone-in shows for calls to share or interviews for social media and only streaming segments of their radio shows such as Cross Question with Iain Dale or election specials on Global Player and YouTube.
