    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    It’s been suggested that Unite set up a “news and views” TV channel, initially a YouTube channel rather than something which seeks to get a broadcast license for Freeview. This isn’t an inherently bad idea, though it might be too risky for one union to do on its own.

    @GBNEWS You need to sort out your sound issues and improve the signal for people who watch Freeview which is probably going to be your number one source of viewers.

  • CllrGareth CllrGareth (@CllrGareth) reported

    @GBNEWS A few other things… your YouTube doesn’t have a live feed. The IOS app forces horizontal rotation. Freeview is in a pretty poor SD. There’s no smart tv apps. Eg roku/tizen/webos.

  • AFCMan_Uk Dave Thorn (@AFCMan_Uk) reported

    @GBNEWS You still seem to be having volume issues on Freeview. Loving the channel, but just seems to be 50% quieter than all other channels. Hope you fix this soon :)

    @RachelSweeneyNE @GBNEWS Let me know when you're on freeview. Perhaps Nissan will help.

  • GordonDow1 Gordon Dow (@GordonDow1) reported

    @NickCohen4 I watched @GBNEWS for a couple of minutes but sound quality was very poor plus it’s not in HD on Freeview. Don’t think it’ll last long.

  • STh177 SimonThomas (@STh177) reported

    @GBNEWS Liking the new style, thought you should know sound still poor watching on ch 236 freeview the ads and voice in studio are lower than other channels non studio guest levels are even lower a whisper .Also ticker tape still says Simon McCoy show? Vision still grainy

  • thepostermafia the postermafia (@thepostermafia) reported

    @GBNEWS Sorted the sound out yet? Really bad on #freeview 🤷

  • den_jw Den Of Scholes 💜🤍💚 (@den_jw) reported

    @eddie19666 McCoy asking people to grow up and stop sending in rude names is going to be the highlight of the channel when it inevitably goes off Freeview and becomes PPV on YouTube
