mandate would expire on sunday. the need for testing will be re evaluated every three months and could be reinstated if new variants emerge. now on bbc news, the media show. hello and welcome to the media show. for this week s edition, we ve come to paddington in central london to the newsroom of gb news because, as i m sure you may remember, back onjune 13th last year, andrew neil and his programme launched gb news at 8pm on 13june. it was certainly a distinct launch. the studio was quite dark. there were some technical problems. it was widely discussed on social media. within weeks, andrew neil would be on holiday, never to return. within months, nigel farage would have his own primetime show. and a year on, well, it s still very much on air. just through the window here, there are many people journalists, producers working on the output as it goes on. and we re going to consider what s definitely been a tumultuous 12 months. i m joined by angelos frangopoulos, th ....
Seen reports from officials where wagner troops were purportedly located yesterday, saying they have left, the mayor of rostov was on tv saying the damage caused to the roads in the city by the tanks, the marks on the roads would be repaired within a couple of days, and this is all being on their 24 hour rolling news channel. the other news channels have just been with the usual weekend schedules, showing entertainment programmes and films. the other key message we are seeing on russian state tv, we are seeing the some news broadcasts actually from the evening, it has been shown in moscow yet, it s been shown in the far east of the country, which is several hours ahead, with a key presenter, and he tried to spin this by saying the country had demonstrated its unity, that the whole country had come out in support of putin and no one had ....
By ofcom, you haven t come a cropper with the ofcom regulators, but let s talk away from the ofcom rules and simply about the nature of balanced programming. a little while ago, you were referencing the fact you want to hear all perspectives. in fact, i think the company which is the parent company is called all perspectives. but for example, i was watching dan wootton a few days ago. there was a lengthy segment with nigel farage where dan wootton agreed with everything that nigel farage said on immigration. he then interviewed jim davidson, where he agreed with almost everything jim davidson said about cancel culture. now, the viewers might like that, but it s not a balanced discussion, it s not a impartial discussion, because the presenter is agreeing with the guests a lot of the time. but that is not a news bulletin, as such. and i think you need to understand that, actually, there is a breadth of voices across the schedule on the channel and that is an important part of any rolling ....
And i know it s gb news language because it s language that we ve been working on for a very long time. but my point is there s a crossover. ..even before nigel. of course, but my point is that this is familiar for people who have followed nigel farage. the crossover in the language and tone is almost complete. i disagree. i really disagree. and i think that that language applies across. it also applies to eamonn holmes. i mean, you know, our breakfast show is, in every single sense of what gb news is, is really about the people s channel, is really about talking about issues that others don t really raise. and it s done in a very gb news way. you know, nigel is only four hours a week. and he s very successful. he s an extraordinary broadcaster. but then again, so are others that we ve got on the channel. we ve got great. we ve got anne diamond, stephen dixon, isabel webster these are terrific ....
So during the day, we are politics heavy. in the evening, we re opinion heavy and appointment to view heavy. and at breakfast, it is a mass reach breakfast programme. but if you actually look at the overall strategic positioning of it, it s a breakfast show made importantly for a radio audience as well, because gb news radio launched on 4january this year. watching gb news a lot in the run up to this interview, a lot of your trails, they use very similar language to the language nigel farage has used. they say things like, we won t talk down to you. this is the people s news channel. the tone, the language is familiar to me as someone who s covered nigel farage as a politician. and ijust wonder, the more successful you are at connecting with nigel farage s base, do you risk making a channel which is for that section of the uk nothing wrong with that but might struggle to reach beyond that section of the uk? well, that language used in the trail that you mentioned is actually ....
