GB News has hit more than 1,000,000,000 views on YouTube, making the channel officially the fastest-growing British news provider ever on the platform.
The channel has hit the milestone in record speed, achieving a billion views in just 2.5 years since its launch, an achievement that took ITV News, also on 1bn views, 17 years to reach.
GB News also topped more than a million subscribers on YouTube last month, with the total now standing at 1.06m.
Chief Digital Officer Geoff Marsh said: “This is astounding growth at record speed and proves GB News is cutting through to the people of the UK – the numbers don’t lie.”
GB News broadcasts a live stream on YouTube which attracts millions of viewers a year. In addition, the channel makes all its programmes available for catch-up on YouTube, and posts thousands of short-form video highlights on the platform.
“This is a huge step towards our goal to be the number one UK news channel by 2028,” Mr Marsh said. “As The People’s Channel we’re proving there’s a real demand for our compelling content which audiences genuinely want to watch and share.”
