GB News isn’t going to collapse because of this. If they were ever hoping to be entirely relying on advertising it might set them back. But don’t think their backers will just pull out due to this. Ultimately it’s the latest in a string of news stories, which means that people know about the channel. Besides where would all the car dealerships and jewellery stores in South Wales advertise now.
Not sure about whether Wootton will return but I suspect this is an easy way to distance themselves from him given the recent news coverage without making it about that news story.
