GB News Radio to launch Washington DC bureau with nightly US show

GB News will launch a new nightly programme from Washington DC this September as it opens a bureau in capital.

The two-hour show, fronted by Bev Turner, will broadcast live each evening from a studio near the White House, adding 14 hours of content to the GB News schedule each week.

The programme is aimed at UK audiences and will feature political interviews, news analysis and stories from across the United States, including coverage of the Trump campaign.

Bev said: “We will be disrupting the late-night TV space as the next day’s papers land in the UK and America’s prime-time analysis gears up. This affords us the chance to deliver a unique UK-USA hybrid of political, cultural and social issues from the start-line of global politics.”

GB News says it will also appoint a US Political Editor to join its Capitol Hill team, which already includes U.S. Correspondent Steven Edginton. His 2024 documentary America’s Muslim City marked his first major contribution to the network.

Editorial Director Michael Booker called it “a new chapter” for GB News, saying: “The world’s biggest political story is playing out in Washington, and its impact is being felt daily in towns and cities across Britain.”

The move comes as GB News increases its digital footprint in the US. According to Similarweb, GBNews.com was the fastest-growing news site in America earlier this year, with over 2.5 million monthly U.S. visitors, up 420 percent in a year.

The Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2025 also placed GB News as the fourth largest news media in the UK based on weekly reach across TV, radio and print, and ranked GBNews.com joint sixth online, ahead of Sun Online, ITV News and The Times.

The new show will be available free to American audiences online and through digital platforms, with no paywall. This contrasts with the BBC’s recent announcement to charge US users for access to most news stories and streams via BBC.com.

There’s no information at this point on the platforms the company is planning to use in the US, or whether they’ll include radio services such as SiriusXM.
