    @ToryRambo @GBNEWS Most signal issues on any Freeview channel are due to the Transmitters and also weather. None of this can be fixed by @GBNEWS or any TV or Radio channel.

    @scrane__ @GBNEWS 1/2 I wasn't keen on #NanaAkua being replaced anyway, but when I seen him, I soon found out he was a ****. I didn't hang around either. His schedule was sent to #Freeview by #GBNews on Monday, or was it Tuesday? It went on our TV EPG's straight away. Today, Nana's new show..

    @3V3N1NGST4R Ah ok I guess that makes sense, I never had Netflix so that's probably why I never saw it, I was just stuck with an abundance of old DVDs and VHS tapes and freeview channels as a kid lol Most of it had TF somehow
