It's a perverse setup, in that they want to be seen as a news network for EPG and clout, but to do what they want to do, it needs to be classed as non-news content.
I believe GB News feel providing the hourly and sometimes half hourly straight forward news updates from the GB newsroom, then they can do what they want for the rest of the day - this means out of every one hour, around 5/6 minutes of straight news is all they want to offer, with the rest opinion led programming.
Now, does this satisfy Ofcom rules on being a "news" channel?
