Johnson joining GB News
October 30, 2023
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is joining GB News as a presenter, programme maker and commentator.
Johnson, who joins in the new year, will play a key role in the channel’s coverage of both the UK general election and the US elections next year.
GB News added that Johnson “will create and present a new series showcasing the power of Britain around the world, as well as hosting the occasional special in front of live audiences around the UK”.
Johnson commented: “GB News is an insurgent channel with a loyal and growing following. I am excited to say I will be joining shortly – and offering my frank opinions on world affairs. I will be talking about the immense opportunities for Global Britain – as well as the challenges – and why our best days are yet to come.”
GB News Editorial Director, Michael Booker, added: “We are tremendously proud to have him join the GB News family, particularly as we head into a seismic year of politics both here and across the Atlantic. Boris has been the most influential Prime Minister of our generation, and his unique insight into domestic and world affairs will be a smash hit with our viewers and listeners. As well as his political skills, he’s an incredibly talented journalist and author, so we can’t wait to start working with him on what will be must-see TV.”
GB News has recently been the subject of Ofcom investigations.
