The YouTube revolution is finally catching up with right-of-centre mainstream British political broadcasters (the left have been there for years). It’s not great news for incumbents with big wage bills…
Former TalkTV presenter Mike Graham is doing good numbers after launching his own independent show on YouTube. This week Graham announced that he was unveiling his own TV channel called UKLive. Viewers will be able to look forward to a show co-presented by Graham and former Sun editor Kelvin Mackenzie. Mackenzie has been keen to enter the new media space for some time. Guaranteed to be punchy and, crucially, free from Ofcom’s regulatory manacles…
GB News also boasts Mackenzie as a pundit so that will cause some consternation. Still, GBN has plenty to be happy about. Its own YouTube numbers are flying thanks to a massive investment in original content, rather than simply repackaging the live TV output. Guido’s own offering is also on the march, and we’ll be doing much more original video content very soon. Stay tuned – and subscribe to our YouTube channel here…
