I remember back around 2019, when there was a debate on the BBC licence fee on GMB and Piers Morgan said he could say what he wants on GMB as the show is not publicly funded, unlike the BBC with their BBC Breakfast.

There seems to be a feeling that as long as you don't receive public funding, you can literally say what you want on TV, which I feel is what GB News thinks.

GB News suffices the OFCOM part of hourly (and also probably half hourly) basic news headlines, allowing the remaining 53 minutes of the hour to be pure opinion led programming.
