The regulatory body announced that GB News was in breach of rule 2.3 concerning harm and offence following a five month investigation.
Following a misogynistic rant on GB News’ ‘Dan Wootton Tonight’ in September 2023, both Fox and programme host Dan Wootton were suspended by the broadcaster. Both were ultimately fired.
Ofcom said it has “significant concerns about GB News’ editorial control of its live output” and has requested a meeting with the news organisation to discuss compliance practices.
The broadcast was the most complained about show of 2023 and as of September 2023, Ofcom had at least 12 investigations into the organisation.
