  • TV in the UK has a substantially different regulatory framework and environment to the US and some other countries.

    That’s why even when Sky News (UK) was Murdoch-owned, it was a respected news source; it was the prestige loss leader he used to help get the rest of Sky regulator-approval. Compare to Sky News Australia; same name but full-on swivel-eyed Fox News-style bollocks.

    At least for now, I believe it’s easier to keep this sort of thing in check (on TV; the papers, oof!) in the UK. But people have to stay vigilant and make sure regulators know folks are keeping an eye on both them and the likes of GB News.
