GB News - New TV Channel

The new channel promises to “change the face of news and debate in the UK”. According to TV listings, it will provide “a new approach to how news is done” and “stories that really matter to people in the United Kingdom”.

Former BBC political presenter Andrew Neil will chair, as well as lead the channel’s evening news coverage. Also among the line-up is ex-Sun journalist Dan Wootton, ex-BBC presenter Simon McCoy and ITV veteran Alastair Stewart.

A special show, Welcome To GB News, will launch the channel on the Sunday evening. Those wishing to tune in will find GB News on Freeview channel 236. It will also be available to view on other platforms including Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

What does the GB News schedule look like?

The daily schedule kicks off with The Great British Breakfast, with former Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher, Darren McCaffrey and Rosie Wright.

In the afternoon will be a show hosted by McCoy.

The evening line-up is headed by Neil, with a news and interview programme. The former BBC presenter was at the heart of their political coverage for around 30 years, last appearing in November as part of the US presidential election coverage.

Wootton will have his own show, Tonight Live With Dan Wootton, broadcasting five nights a week.

Stewart will anchor a current affairs show titled Alastair Stewart And Friends.

Meanwhile, Andrew Doyle will host a “fearless” debate show, Free Speech Nation.

Others appearing on the new channel include Apprentice winner and businesswoman Michelle Dewberry, broadcaster and author Neil Oliver and ex-Sky host Colin Brazier.
