What does a zero mean with regards to numbers of viewers? Nobody knows - because viewing figures are taken from a sample of 'representative' households. Zero means no-one in that sample was watching - not no-one at all. All viewing figures are extrapolations/estimates - not 100% accurste. Never knew that. Learn something every day I suppose. I mean, it's totally shit. You wouldn't watch paint dry, so why would you watch shit smell?

It's actually improved and not bad, not brilliant but better than the BBC and GMB. I'm all for a bit of BBC bashing, but we both know your heart isn't in that claim.

When GB News started & had low viewing figures the left-wing echo-chamber on Twitter, the left-wing MSM, and the left-wing posters on here couldn't hide their glee & were posting viewing figures pretty much daily. Then more people started to learn of GB News & it began to get more viewers than Sky News and, surprisingly, BBC News. Twitter, the MSM & the folk on here suddenly went very quiet & decided to stop talking about viewing figures... They've remained silent ever since. Draw your own conclusions from that.

I learned two things. 1. Why chimney sweeps are considered lucky. 2. How to fix a noisy Dyson vacuum. Maybe I can have tomorrow off!!! Not bothered about the Dyson but pray tell why chimney sweeps are considered lucky, then we have both learnt 2 things today Story (apparently) comes from Vienna. During the 18th century they had a speight of house fires from unswept chimneys which spread and burned out whole streets. City authorities got fed up of this and started handing out draconian penalties to anyone responsible. As a result everyone wanted their chimney swept and sweeps became in short supply - such that if you found one able to sort your chimney out then it was your lucky day - possibly sparing you a prison sentence. I'm sure other fables are availabke but that's the one I heard today.

More viewers than SKY and the BBC when? Across the week, or a particular programme at a particular point of the day?

I had noticed the quality of the people they had appearing on the show had seemed to have improved. It got me thinking about the viewing figures. But try as i may i haven't been able to find anything recent other than the naysayer articles mocking it in the early days. Seems also that some of the advertisers have returned. Maybe it is getting a foothold. Personally i hope so, because as daft as i think some of the bits i have seen are i also have been relatively impressed with how they do things. But then again i only drop into it now and again.

It's not ground breaking granted but I find the relaxed approach and presenters honesty refreshing. I appreciate it doesn't appeal to everyone but I find it an easier watch than the the other two I've mentioned.

They seem to make an effort at least to give all sides a proper voice from what i have seen, which granted isn't that much. Might watch a solid hour of it tonight and see what occurs. Hopefully it won't turn me into an extreme right wing nutter like i have been led to believe

I even enjoyed seeing Eamonn Holmes on there presenting 😄

GB News are really starting to get it right hence the silence from the woke left. The evenings are excellent with the likes of Farage, Dolan and love him or loathe him, Dan Wootton is a phenomenal TV presenter - Huge future ahead of him. Some of the guests are very good too. Getting an exclusive interview with Trump was pretty impressive. Actual scientists like Sunetra Gupta who know what they are talking about as opposed to clowns like Whitty, Ferguson and the demonic SAGE mob who have become national comedy figures for their catastrophically dumb and wildly inaccurate predictions. Actual scientists who opposed going batshit bonkers over a largely non fatal virus, who opposed obliterating small businesses, crippling livelihoods, discrimination and sacrificing children's lives in the name of something they are immune to. Solid daytime appointments too with the likes of Eamonn Holmes.

Talking Pints is an excellent show as I’m sure you know😉

They may have been talking about it when it first went to air because it was topical, and now it is just another news channel that is chugging along producing stories and content.

They’d rather be trying to convince people they’re housing refugees and helping out at food banks whilst sipping their soy latte and nibbling a smashed avocado panini whilst wearing a face mask😏

You'd hope so, that's an approach you'd expect from most normal, well adjusted people.
