Andrew Neil takes a break from GB News after ‘rocky start’

OHMYGOSSIP — Andrew Neil is taking a break from GB News.
The 72-year-old broadcaster has announced he’s taking a step back from the recently-launched news channel for a “few weeks”, admitting it’s been a “rocky start” for the new platform.
Andrew – who launched GB News on June 13 – said as he closed his show on Thursday night (24.06.21): “That’s it for tonight and from me for the next few weeks.
“But I leave you in the safe and professional hands of Colin Brazier.”
Despite this, Andrew insisted he won’t be staying off the channel for too long.
He said: “I’ll be back before the summer is out and when you least expect it so stay tuned.”
Andrew acknowledged that GB News has encountered a host of issues in its first few weeks on air, but he also spoke positively about the channel’s long-term future.
He said: “Before I take this break, let me say this: yes, we had a bit of a rocky start with the launch of GB News.
“We’re a start-up, they’re always a bit rocky these start-ups. But we are up and running as you can see, we get better every day and there’s clearly an appetite for what we’re doing.
“And in two short weeks, we’ve already built a loyal audience which has beaten all of our expectations, it’s often bigger than the other news channels and it’s growing.”
Andrew thanked the viewers for their support and he promised that things will continue to improve in the coming weeks and months.
He explained: “On behalf of GB News, I say to all of our viewers, thank you. We won’t let you down and you ain’t seen nothing yet.”
