It's a bit more complex that swapping JML etc for GB News, as teleshopping is a commercial deal governed by BCap while taking editorial from another broadcaster has contractual issues of Ofcom liability to contend with. But it can and has been done, if you use the right broker.
The fact that GB News (TV Licence) has no Ofcom judgements againt it all all will assure the potential partner, and its better their airtime is usually sold by same house - So Sky Media in this case.
This is all mental onanism anyway. GB News is never going to buy airspace on other channels. They don't like spending more money than they have to. This is honestly one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen on these forums, and it all seems to stem from someone who worships GB News (don't know why cos it's awful).
I dont know how in my THREE posts on this forum you can possible jump to the conclusion that GB News worship is happening. Very odd thinking.
For the record I have no view on GB News, or any of the identically Ofcom licenced non-psb News channels like SkyNews or Talk TV. Save for the fact I'm pleased we have robust evidence led independent media regulation in this country.
My point stems from the fact its rival Talk TV has made a move, and airtime buys are logical and common tactics. It's fairly obvious that the former CBS Reality deal with Made/Local TV runs on a lower budget than both Talk TV and GB News and that was an airtime buy. They happen.
Perhaps Kojak you'd care to tell us how much these off peak teleshopping slots for for typically? As you are so certain it's all so unaffordable and crazy? You must know how the numbers and the supporting facts to be so certain, I'm sure.
Fascinated to hear you thoughts
