If you look at the presenting line up - to be fair to GB "News" and that is very hard for me to do, but let's be fair, not all of their presenting line up are Tory MPs so I feel if a general election is called soon, they will be fine - simply dumping Jacob Rees Mogg and a few others wouldn't be hard for them to do.

Things are far - and I mean
far - from perfect on GB News as they stand, but when you compare how everything looks here (today)...
... with the presentation originally (mid-2021) ...
... it's undeniable that they're making (slow but steady) steps to improve the appearance of the sets and graphics.
Them taking on Erron Gordon (if rumours are to be believed) can only be a step in the right direction. He seems to relish a challenge - let's not forget what a disaster Daybreak had been for ITV before he took over to launch GMB - and GB News is nothing if not a challenge, so he'll likely be in his element.
In the words of D-Reem, thiiiinggsss can only get betteeerrr...

Great that they are trying to make the graphics and presentation look better - just a shame they are ignoring the appalling content, maniac presenters, and breaching Ofcom rules over MPs presenting news shows.

The Patrick Christys who comes out with low key BNP rhetoric on immigration and multiculturalism every day on his show, under the radar while Farage and Wootton soak up all the attention.

The advertising on GB News from very low end firms would indicate to me that at some point this channel faces some kind of financial issues? Or is it loss making for whichever billionaire wants to stir up 💩? I see Erron Gordon is moving over now so what am I missing? Seems such a tacky little channel with very low production values repeating the same old anti woke borefest?

I'm pretty sure he was on the launch team and Director of Daybreak. Both the Adrian/Christine and Lorraine/Aled eras.

The ticker font looks a bit finer in the last few days. Unlikely but I wonder if he’s starting to get to work on things already. I seem to remember quite a few improvements to the look of talkRADIO TV as it was then immediately after he joined the team.

GB News has had an advertising boycott since the early days of the channel after major brands didn't want to be associated with them. Some weren't even aware as Sky usually slot in ads on the channels they represent.
In any case, news channels aren't usually profit making and require support from parent companies to survive.
