GB News has announced that it will play the national anthem every day, before it’s live programming commences at 6am, with its breakfast show.
GB News said in a statement; “We’re delighted to let you know that GB News will play God Save the Queen to kick off its live programming every day from now on.
“The anthem will play out across GB News Television and GB News Radio at 5.59am, ahead of Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel on weekdays, and Breakfast with Stephen and Anne at weekends.
“As you know, the anthem used to be a regular feature at the BBC, who dropped it from their television service 24 years ago. It means GB News will be only British television broadcaster to play the anthem daily
“We promised that GB News would celebrate what’s good about our country when we can, and the Queen’s 70 years on the throne is definitely cause for celebration.
“We’ve selected an uplifting instrumental version which, for our television viewers, will play over photographs of beautiful British scenes at dawn.
“We think this moment of quiet reflection will be a lovely way to start the day. We hope you do too.”
