GB News announce ‘alternative’ Match of the Day without any football footage

GB news has announced that they are stepping up to give the people what they "need" and will put on an alternative to BBC's Match of the Day.

The problem - they don't own the rights to broadcast match footage.

Mark Dolan reveals the plan in this clip, saying if the BBC will "not serve" its audience then they're going to try and fill the gap.

"I am Gary Lineker, and to make it really feel like Match of the Day, GB News are going to pay me £1.3 million," he joked.
