Obviously GBN needs upgrading with its studio production styles and technology, but I hope Erron adopts the warmer style than repeat what he did with GMB and Talk TV- Talk was particularly hampered in my opinion by the stone cold branding, strap, music and set design. Very slick but disconnected from the audience.
I think Erron Gordon is the clearly the best person for the job that needs doing at GB News and I think it’s an exciting appointment. However there was something too glossy and OTT with the look at Talk TV, at least before the move to the News UK building.
I think his job should be to give this channel a high end broadcast quality look, whilst not being too flashy. I think the fact the approach will have to be maintained throughout the day rather than a few hours in the evening will certainly help with calming things down.
I’m not sure why Piers, feels his colleague should be glued to him for the remainder of their careers.
To add I think splitting the studios into two or three, perhaps with some removable walls to give them the option to have bigger space for something like Free Speech nation is something that’s quite important.
