Something that cannot be said for GB News.That depends who the company is and what the backers want to achieve. It was clear from the start GB news was not trying to be BBC or Sky news, and while they have adjusted somewhat their offering to include more news, they are still not really a news channel in the true sense and never set out to be. So it is difficult to say if the backers are boosting their reputation or not by funding the channel. If it is meeting their aims, then it will be. GB News is also somewhat "cheap" to run, so I'd question the idea that somehow the backers are watching the channel make a loss in fear. I would suspect the loss was already expected and they are planning to fund it for a good amount of time. it was three years to start with I believe so not long to wait and see. The money being spent on a new studio would seem to suggest they want to keep it going.
From a technical and operational perspective, GB news is improving. Every time I watch it, it seems more professional. Opinions and "ideology" and the operations of the channel are two separate things, I feel many are mixing up the two.
