Since its a bit quiet on here i thought I'd start a thread about this new news channel starting soon. Some have been condemming it before it has started for being too "Right Wing" when in fact we know nothing of its content, Some comparing it with Newsmax and OANN in the US when in fact by the laws here it can never be like that. Do we need another news channel and will it survive and thrive or will it be a struggle to stay on the air financially?
We have BBC, Sky, ITV, C4 and C5 news plus lots more on various platforms and another one in a crowded market, Its going to be difficult for them. Many accuse the "MSM" of being biased towards one side or the other and as i've said people have been judgemental before the first broadcast has happened, There is a strong feeling amoungst some that a fresh view from the news is needed with certain "causes" being given more prominece than some others and hope this channel will "Even things up", I'm not sure of their line up, Only know Andrew Neil that has been employed by them and it will be interesting who else will come aboard them. LBC had Farage and Hopkins as part of their presenter line up for a while until they were asked to leave so will they be asked?
The news in this country is pretty good IMHO but for whatever reasons a portrayal of mistrust and suspicion seems to be quite prevelant nowadays. So what do you want from this Channel, Will you watch it or have you made up your mind about it already?
