It is really interesting reading the comments on here about left this or right that. I remember the firm definitive 'GBN won't last', 'Andrew Neil has left, it won't last more than 6 months', then 'It'll be lucky to see its first anniversary"
It's still there, will it last? Who really knows.
Yes it is sloppy looking. It does have more poor than great production, but what I see is something that is finding its feet, more serious TV people being hired behind the scenes and if logic follows then a more polished look and production should start to emerge.
How they cover big events may well lead to people switching to them, maybe just sometimes instead of the BBC or Sky, and slowly an audience could grow. A general election could really do them some good, viewer wise, if they play a good game.
Then GBN will sit in the mainstream, a mainstream that will have changed slightly from when it began because it will be part of that future mainstream.
Alternatively, it'll be gone in 6 months.
