the creation of independent radio, of commercial radio was hatched, and the first station on air was lbc broacasting, and i applied for a job there, and for some reason, and i think yes, probably peter snow, jon snow, he may be our ownjon snow, he can be all right. they have their own peter snow, and it will all make sense. and i had three years of amazing journalism, really. because, sadly, the ira went wild, bombing their way across london, and the lucky thing was that i rode a bicycle. and so i got to the scene of the crime often before anyone else got anywhere near it. and all i had to do was find somewhere to lock my bike up. otherwise, i had my tape recorder on my shoulder and dived straight in. and if you are getting raw, amazing, revealing stuff right there on the ground, it is much more powerful, even if it's not as good. it may not be greatjournalism, but it was very powerful radio and people felt they were right in the heart of it. and you are thought to be a very good reporter, even though i probably was a terrible reporter. you took over as channel 4 news newsreader from pet

andrew marr, when he was stepping down from the bbc tojoin lbc — he said he wants to get his own voicehat you can say because you were for channel 4 news? absolutely not. i feel no constraint at all and i have very rarely ever been ticked off over anything like that. it's been heavily criticised by the government, some of them see it as having a left—wing political bias, which channel 4 news entirely disputes. channel 4 disputes absolutely. why do you think they have that impression about channel 4 news? have that impression because the government has changed consultation on channel 4's future. it has the responsibility of not being the bbc. i love the bbc and i listen to it and i watch it far more than i watch any other channel. but the fact is, that given the bbc�*s position and given the fact that it is, in a sense, a state—run and controlled organism, it runs a very fine and objective operation. but i think the glory of channel 4 is that it is not the bbc and that it actually has the opportunity to roam free and make of the world what we can. can you remember a time whenjournalists

between impartiality within programmes, and balance across a network that the likes of radio station lbcn an age of super—abundant information, our attention becomes the most precious resource. and the momentum within our news culture is with those who can best grab that attention. but generating noise is easy. generating news is hard and expensive. gb news will galvanise british broadcasting, but it will do so mainly by accelerating trends that we are already seeing, online and in america, towards big personalities. we do not need further division by creating a system of broadcasting where people only see the opinions that they like. i must listen to opinions i don't agree with, and i don't like. that's how i come to know the truth. morgan wasn't out of a job for long. he signed a deal with rupert murdoch's news corp and fox news to launch a global tv show, and become a columnist. but andrew neil left his role at gb news after presenting just a few programmes. he told question time why. the differences were such that the direction they were going in was not the direction that i had outl
