GB News has appointed Helen Warner, a former head of daytime at both ITV and Channel 4, as its head of television.
Warner’s experience includes commissioning and producing popular shows such as Come Dine With Me, Loose Women, and Good Morning Britain.
She was most recently chief content officer at live sports and non-scripted production company Whisper as it pushed into more factual and entertainment content.
GB News chief executive Angelos Frangopoulos said Warner’s “tremendous industry expertise and deep understanding of audiences will be invaluable as we turbocharge our schedule, our new shows and our talent over the coming months”. She said she planned to help take GB News’ “programming to the next level and really cement its place in the broadcasting landscape”.
