GB News has secured another major ratings victory - outperforming Sky News during a period dominated by coverage of the Iran war.
According to the latest BARB data, GB News recorded an average of 94,780 viewers in March, delivering a 1.61 per cent share, while Sky News lagged behind with 92,357 viewers and a 1.57 per cent share.
It marks the ninth consecutive month that GB News has beaten its rival. From the moment the United States and Israel launched their surprise attack on Iran on February 28, GB News has provided comprehensive coverage of the year’s biggest story.
From the initial outbreak of hostilities to the evolving international response, including high-profile disagreements between Donald Trump and Keir Starmer, GB News’ team of presenters and journalists have covered every twist and turn.
Head of Programming Ben Briscoe said: “This result reflects the trust viewers now place in us during major global events. Our team has worked tirelessly to deliver clear, compelling coverage of what is a complex and rapidly evolving situation.”
Among the highlights of GB News’ coverage was an extraordinary exchange between President Trump and Bev Turner, the host of The Late Show Live.
Questioned by Bev on his "disappointment" in the Prime Minister's support in the war, Mr Trump admitted he felt his conduct was "shocking".
He told GB News: "I think he's a lovely man, but I think he did something that was shocking. He didn't want to help us.

"And maybe in particular that country, we were the longest bond, the longest ally. Australia too, Australia was not great. I was a little surprised by Australia.
"I wouldn't say anybody was great other than the five countries in the Middle East. We never really had very much support."
