The trick is not to watch it.

Like a lot of the smaller channels, they are just bundled-up in a package and sold by Sky Media on a cost per thousand viewers (reach), so they don't set the rates themselves, it's basically like an auction with Sky Media filling-up airtime at whatever price they can get.
Of course, with GB News, a lot of advertisers have requested they are excluded from any packages brought by their media buyers, hence why most the ads are tele-shopping types that pay the lowest rates, rather than big brands.

I haven't watched the channel at all and it's still limping along. Your "trick" doesn't do squat.

Ironically enough, it's only this place that reminds me that it is.
A mate who is a data scientist (and also doesn’t follow any news out of choice so hadn’t even heard of GB News) got approached by them for a job in charge of their analytics, the aim being to increase viewers, improve programming and raise advertising spend.
He watched a bit of it and described it as highly amusing. He concluded it was an interesting job but one to do at a normal company instead of with GB News.

I guess it’s one of the few places your ads will end up if you can only afford to buy exposure to 20 or so viewers.

I recorded Farage tonight, as their most watched programme, so I could whizz past his shit, and check out the ad breaks.
When they launched they had 4 ad breaks per hour of around 4 minutes each, that dropped to 4 x 2 minutes after the ad boycott campaign, from my research tonight, that has now dropped to just 3 x 2 minutes.
This sort of shit interests me, I must be a bit sad.

They do have a sponsor for the weather now, so a advertiser that has specifically selected GB News, this 'opportunity' was first advertised by Sky Media back in early August, so it has taken a fairly long time to sell it, and maybe the sponsor isn't aware of what they have brought into, as it's sponsored by the Canary Islands, so I assume their tourist board.

Yeah, I didn’t mean necessarily more adverts as a proportion of time, but they seem to have more different companies advertising, rather than heavy rotation of a used car dealership, an ad for Sky TV and one for a suicide prevention hotline, as was the case some weeks back.

Slogan: “Come to the beautiful Canary Islands and escape shit GB weather and shit GB News”?They do have a sponsor for the weather now, so a advertiser that has specifically selected GB News, this 'opportunity' was first advertised by Sky Media back in early August, so it has taken a fairly long time to sell it, and maybe the sponsor isn't aware of what they have brought into, as it's sponsored by the Canary Islands, so I assume their tourist board.

Switched on last night for a moment and it was Dan Wootton interviewing Neil Oliver (who has Covid). It's so desperate they've taken to interviewing their own presenters when they're off sick.

You'd think the virus would go easy given the consistent unwavering support the channel has been providing.

I think we all know covid is ruthless and gives nil fucks about loyalty.

He was at home via zoom. I can't find anything about it either, but he was definitely talking about having symptoms. Point is it was pretty weak having nobody but their own staff to interview.
