Cottage industry

 In the build-up to the arrival 'within weeks' of GB News, have we spotted a small plea for special treatment from Director of News and Programming John McAndrew, in their latest press release ?

"We can sense a real hunger for something fresh and different in television news and debate. It's humbling because we are a small start-up with a fraction of the resources of others, but what we lack in size we make up for in passion and determination to provide a welcoming home for honest British news and debate". 

Elsewhere, the station's promotion machine has revealed an number of paired presenters, if not the final schedule. To those familiar with some of the talent, there are raised eyebrows about some duos, who've previously been determined to work solo.  But the pairing of 'news' and 'debate' suggests that, 'with a fraction of the resources of others'  this network will major on discussion rather than reporting.
