What is going on?

Just returned and there is an outage with continuous 'editorial' promotions and adverts.

Seems it's not the first:- https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/15/gb-news- ... -14772988/

AN didn't last long as they 'went to an ad break' - which also failed.

They appear to have 'relocated' - as if the usual suite is unfixable.

Well, I'm no conspiracy theorist, but the number of mishaps that this new broadcaster has had seem disproportionate to me. It may be that they have tried to do it all on the cheap and bought equipment that is not up to the job. On the other hand, if the other main news broadcasters are seeing a reduction in their viewing figures, I am sure there are ways and means of disrupting the competition. Remember that one of the competition is RT.

Having worked in the extremely competitive business of selling commercial aircraft, I can assure you that the combatants will use every trick in the book against a competitor, and such tricks are by no means unique to the aviation sector.

I remember how clunky and error prone Sky News were when they started, there were even satirical sketches made about how bad they were, anyone remember KY News?

Don't tell everyone, tango, but is it a left-wing conspiracy to take it down.

Having little German we were engaged in a deep and meaningful conversation about Mrs Thatcher. Having set the scene in English he got so worked up that he lapsed into rapid German. No translation needed.

We have a wee Weegie bitch here who expresses similarly harsh views, also in guttural low spoken language.

Fortunately, either because I don't watch, or perhaps the Beeb has wised up, I have not seen her doing her PPB stint every evening.
