One day before GB News launched, the BBC apparently tried to bar the new station from accessing footage of public events which is available via a 'pooling' system, run by the UK's three main broadcasters. Andrew Neil spoke about the events which supposedly took place during his 8pm show this evening and said 'Ofcom [were] waiting in the wings' to deal with the issue. Andrew explained to GB News viewers how 'some major news events allow access to only one TV camera'.As a result, 'news broadcasters take it, in turn, to decide' who attend and then the information and 'pictures are available to all broadcasters'.
