Thing is it's a quite simple rule, and other broadcasters - mainly LBC, but also Talk - manage to have politicians present programmes in a way that doesn't breach the rules.
GB News can shrug this off now but once the election is called rules about what can and can't be broadcast get a heck of a lot stricter and the sanctions more severe. They're going to have to get their act together
And that's going to be a major issue for GBN when their USP is controversial discussion, nor can they use their sitting MP talent during that period.
So they'll either have to suddenly become a lot more mainstream or ramp up the culture wars content that doesn't clash with the election period.
