GB NEWS viewers have complained online after the audio and visuals failed to sync up during this afternoon’s programming.
Andrew Neil's new channel, which has been touted as the UK's answer to Fox News, launched last night.
During De Piero and Halligan’s afternoon show all about England’s planned exit from lockdown, which is reportedly going to be delayed by up to four weeks, the channel’s feed showed presenters talking – but the audio was struck by a delay itself.
At another point in the programme, the producers speaking in the presenters’ earpieces were audible to viewers.

“Would be better if the sound was in sync with the video. Very strange to watch,” one user said.
“Sort your sounds out, mouths not sync to sound, also, lots of echoing, also studio too dark,” another complained.
“The lack of sound/picture synchronization makes it impossible to watch,” added Dominic Stockford.
Another complained: "You are out of sync (and have been since the beginning) on both Freesat and the iPad app. It makes for an impossible watch, sadly."
Presenters acknowledged they had faced communication issues throughout the afternoon.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
