Yep, in the mean time no one watches GBNews, no matter how many awards no one has heard of they "win".

More viewers than Sky News can attract, not bad going for a two bob broadcaster.

Had never heard of TRIC before this. I don't see the relevance of it being a public vote. Does it make it more prestigious or not?

(If you guy's have got the popcorn out I may as well give you a reason)

Some may say it more accurately reflects what joe public actually watches rather than what the industry itself votes for.

It only tells you about the views of the people who bothered to vote. Is that group representative of the viewers as a whole, the country as a whole, sane people, etc?

Well done GB news, especially when you look at the effort that was made by some extremists at the start to try to put if off the air.

Nigel's show is really good and I encourage everyone to watch it. Nice to see a balanced approach for once. No cutting people off and pretending the microphones dead when they don't get the answer they want!

You need to look at past winners over a number of years tbf

But captain it turns out they do. Looks like Nigel's slot if beating the established news outlets of the BBC and Sky News.

As always stats can be used to display any bias, in this case it’s showing average day time viewings.Plenty of reports differ using different parameters. I just googled and a vast array of differing numbers pop up. The fact remains that GBNews have attracted awards from the general viewing public outdoing both Sky and BBC.
Not bad for a fairly new low budget broadcaster.

But they don't attract more viewers than Sky News.

They may have done at a specific time slot, but overall they don't, your blanket statement was incorrect.

They are dong OK but they are a pretty niche broadcaster appealing to quite a narrow demographic IMO

Absolutely, just like any vote - I am not sure anyone has claimed it's representitive of the country as a whole?

My point was that this time they allowed a public vote whereas previously, as I understand it, the vote was restricted to the broadcasting industry (bit like the Oscars)

Wow!... that's actually quite impressive for a new start up, didn't realise they had those sort of figures.

Yes I did correct myself in the post to which you replied.
Most loyal viewers fall into the 25 - 34 year old people. Surprising.

To be fair back in May Fawkes posted some of the individual slot viewing figures

https://order-order.com/2023/05/26/gb-news-beats-s...

“GB News beat Sky News for five and a half hours and it beat the BBC’s News channel for 7 hours and 15 minutes. Of course, it also beat Talk TV across the whole 24-hour period. Dan Wootton claims the top spot amongst GB News presenters, raking in 93,800 views in prime time, whilst Nigel Farage managed a respectable 83,100. Both Nigel and Dan beat out both the BBC and Sky News across individual periods. Meanwhile, Talk TV registered 0 viewers in three separate time slots.”

Wooton isn’t my cup of tea but it looks like GB comfortably leads the 7-10 timeslots. Nice to know nobody is watching Morgan.

Broadcasters' Audience Research Board (BARB) I believe.

You can see various reports for example top 50 programmes etc
https://www.barb.co.uk/viewing-data/most-viewed-pr...

But the detailed view I believe is subscription based.

Some great anger about this. But very little mention on the BBC. Odd.

So the same link I posted to earlier which shows the BBC News channel and Sky News having significantly more viewers in a month than GB News.

And BBC News at 6/10 and ITV News having more viewers in a night than GB News has in a month.

His speech. Gets a bit rowdy. The speech was little unfairly clipped this morning on ITV; to him saying to the crowd "I feel sorry for all of you"

Best bit about that is that his table was right at the back. What's the betting the organisers wanted him as far out the way from the stage/cameras as possible when they were making up the guest list.

Oops!

Does the BBC usually mention TRIC award ceremonies? I've personally never heard of it until this thread

As I understand it the Barb stats are gathered from a very small sample of 5,600 boxes installed on (again as I understand it) viewers tv's or receivers 'selected' by Barb as being 'representitive' throughout the country.

This obviously drives the data for advertisers in making choices where to advertise and it has been suggested, though not be me, that the sample size and distribution of these collection devices might not be entirely random.

Or so I have heard.
