The channel is called GB News, not all shows are News. BBC NEWS Channel used to have Click, film reviews, dateline - none of which meet the definition of News. Sky used to have The Climate Show, Sportline,The Pledge, None of which would be classed as news by Ofcom (hence sport is sponsored!)
Ofcom have determined its not an issue so its bizarre there is any argument.
You're right. If you want to go one further, the ITV News channel used to show football matches, for crying out loud! And Sky News once showed a live Prince concert. We're not like Canada, which used to have very strict conditions on what a channel could and couldn't show, depending on how it was licenced.
