GBN's backers thought they could emulate the Newsmax/OANN style of broadcasting in the UK, but unlike the US where there's still a significant target audience who believe in the style of Trumpism conservative thinking, it's nowhere as big.
Not only that; there's a massive discrepancy between what is considered right, centre and left political views in the US and the UK. The average Democrat is further to the right than the average Tory. Many things which are considered "centre views" in the UK are pushing far towards the extreme left in the US.
