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

Sky Glass 55" (on ethernet) & two Stream Pucks (one ethernet / one WiFi)
BT Halo 3+ Ultrafast FTTP (500Mbs), BT Smart Hub 2

It is not possible to remove individual channels like this.
