I'd like GB News removed from my subscription. Is this possible.

No it's not. Just don't watch it.

It is not possible to remove individual channels like this.

GB News is a free-to-air channel: your Sky subscription isn't paying for it.*

As noted above it's not possible to remove individual channels from the EPG: UK media regulations say any channel which holds a broadcasting licence has the right to a slot by paying a standard listing fee (at least until Ofcom finally catches up with them ; )

While Sky could, in theory, have an option for a user to hide channels in the EPG, it's never done so other than for the Adult ones on the satellite platforms.

I guess if you really wanted you could create a 'Favourites' list which doesn't include it...

*which is why it's also on Freesat, Freeview and Freely

Its farcical I cannot remove that [Removed] from a system I actually pay for. "Just don't watch it" is not an acceptable answer. Why should the rights of the billionaire who owns that channel outstrip mine as the buyer? Ludicrous.

@JoeHenlow because he's also paid for the right!
