I wonder who took part in the GB News meeting that decided to put Nigel Farage on air Monday to Thursday for an hour from 7pm. I wonder when it happened. It may have been more important in the departures of John McAndrew and Gill Penlington than the 'row' over Guto Harri taking the knee.
Farage, never one to doubt his own abilities, will provide a hearty gammon and egg supper as an alternative to the quinoa and feta salad offered by Channel 4 News. His arrival in the weekday schedule also cuts by half the live on-air torture of Michelle Dewberry.
There are hints of a 're-launch' in September, which may see some Love Island-style enforced coupling, to get more compatible sets of daytime presenters. Those who have been hired as reporters around the country await their fate; producers have tried leaving them in one spot for a day, reading out stories from around their patch, and most recently, making them conduct 'donuts', interviewing low quality guests from one venue all day. Both strategies have so far provided a sort of balance of excruciation, occasionally making the studio presentation look semi-professional.
