Katie Hopkins will not appear, I am confident of that. Why are you watching? Presumably you watched it for the interview with Priti at the seaside ( unfortunately not in swimming costume).
I think it is quite refreshing to see local reporters, who know their area, reporting on local issues.

I didn't even read your opening post so wasn't aware of what you said. And for the record I can't stand Hopkins either and I doubt I will watch this new channel much news channels are very dull.

Missed that interview spider, I doubt it will last long, and definately never get to be a serious news channel for the masses, I like channel 4 news, bbc newsnight, but bbc1 and sky have got a lot further to the right recently, even 5 live . Yoy have to seperate the taking of the knee and transgender stuff from the lefts politics, thats just how life is going, its nothing to do with working peoples lives or their goals. This gb channel will only be watched by the right leaning people, agreeing with every piers morgan point or katie H, the anchorman who is ex bbc is a bit of a bore himself, if it survives i can imagine it might have the same audience numbers as Rt or Al Jazeera, something to dip in to if you are that way inclined but not your first port of call.

If Katie Hopkins, (I remembered her name), gets the gig, and i"m sure she will, I will not be watching, the Hull girl is nearly as annoying but is eye candy! I might dip in and out!
