What is the basis of this?
On the Ofcom licenses website, GB News is classified as News and Dave as General Entertainment.
It's because whenever GB News is challenged on it's impartiality their defence is that the presenters are not news presenters and that the bulletins at the top of the hour are the news content, when the rest of the hour shouldn't be considered news programming so it only needs to meet a lower threshold when it comes to impartiality.
