If News UK didn't keep making decisions whether to launch a tv channel or not, it may have been a different story for TalkTV, but they launched after GB News.
GB News finally has a small but loyal audience despite shoddy production standards because they're providing their demo exactly what they want, which is an echo chamber view of the world.
TalkTV has better production standards, but the editorial is all over the place with the radio station output providing the bulk of the output full of culture wars content and then four hours of made for tv shows which while they also cover culture wars, there's then the 1 hour where they play it straighter than the other shows.
News UK had other options where they could have had a much more rounded channel featuring content from across Wireless using Virgin, talkSPORT, Times Radio and TalkRadio output during the day instead of what is a continuation of talkRADIO TV with some tv shows tagged on in peak.
