GB News chief executive Angelos Frangopoulos discusses the launch of the channel and where it goes next.

GB News launched one year ago this week. It promised to disrupt - to hear people, places and issues that other media outlets were not paying attention to. The show’s design was certainly different. The opening monologue came from a studio that was almost entirely black. Viewers were noting this, and they were noting sound issues too – the start of a range of technical issues for the network as a whole. Within weeks, Andrew Neil was on holiday, never to return. Within months, Nigel Farage had taken over a primetime show of his own. GB News chief executive Angelos Frangopoulos talks to The Media Show about where the channel has come from and where it goes next. Presented by Ros Atkins.
