GB News has been fined £100,000 for violating impartiality rules during a broadcast featuring then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. An investigation by Ofcom found that the program did not present a wide range of viewpoints. The broadcast, aired on February 12, allowed Sunak to promote his government's policies without sufficient challenge. Ofcom stated that GB News must also air a statement regarding the findings. GB News is contesting the ruling in court, claiming the sanctions are unfair. Ofcom will not enforce the fine until the legal proceedings are resolved.
