It seems a bit like L!VE TV only with more self importance and no news bunny. Ratings are climing though.

It’s a weird mixture of things, but I like that analogy.

They claim that, but the official BARB figures suggests otherwise.
They are averaging around just 25,000 viewers across the 'daytime hours' (6am - midnight), well behind Sky News & BBC News.
Farage remains their star, bringing in 50-75k viewers, well down on the 100k plus when he started, their 15th most popular show only has 33k viewers, at some points during the daytimes they score as little as 1 or 2k viewers.
The much hyped new breakfast show doesn't even show up in the Top 15 shows, the last figures I saw, was around 20k.
Don't they get more views on YouTube though?

They never get more than a few hundred viewing live on youtube, some short clips can pick-up a few thousand, certain interviews by Farage can clock up 2-300k after they have been on youtube for several months, not that impressive overall.

I think with a channel like that the number of subscribers wouldn’t mean that much.
My Dad would have no clue about how to subscribe to something on Youtube, but he might click on a link someone had sent him.

I can't remember looking at their youtube subscribers at launch, but I did post this back on 29th June 2021.
Since June last year, they have only managed to add just over 60k more twitter followers, so just over 360k in total.
Sky News UK have 7.4m followers

The whole bloody project is, as are the backers.
The biggest investor was Discovery, which is currently being merged with Warner [Bros.] Media, owners of CNN, I can't see them throwing any more money down the drain on the GBN project, so once they have spunked the last of the original upfront funding, I expect their game will be over.

Yeah, I wonder how fast they’re burning through their capital…
Fucking fast, launching nationally on DAB radio was dumb, it wasn't in the original plan, and it's costing them well north of £500k per year, with no advertising income, they can't play-out the TV ads on radio for various reasons, and just fill the ad breaks with endless promos for their own output.
Sky Media [ad sales] sells their limited TV slots off for next to nowt, but they don't sell radio advertising, GBN don't have their own sales team to sell the radio slots.
The last independent sales house for radio advertising disappeared about 2 years ago, when Bauer Media took over most of their clients, they had to agree to carry on selling air-time for the very few remaining truly independent radio stations that were with 'First Radio Sales', but they are basically bundled-up and sold as part of the 'Hits' or 'Greatest Hits' networks, they have no obligation to take on new players, and no talk based stations to bundle GBN up with.
Global Radio & News Corp sell their own stations, but not others, and I can't see Global wanting to bundle up GBN with LBC, nor News Corp with TalkRadio & Times Radio, it's not in their interest to do so.
So, they seem fucked when it comes to trying to generate income for GBNews Radio, totally crazy.

Oh, did you mean 'Clear Channel Radio Sales'?
They don't seems to operate in the UK any longer, I know they used to represent JazzFM, but Bauer Media took over JazzFM back in 2018, and 'First Radio Sales' in 2020.

Is it still quite easy to ‘buy’ followers? Right-wing types have form for this, important for egos.
Anyway, the people paying for this shit aren’t bothered about it making money, they’re trying to remake society and this is just a business expense. They’ll get it all back in tax cuts and loopholes from whatever ‘small state’ political party they eventually help to prosper.
