"We can sense a real hunger for something fresh and different in television news and debate," said John McAndrew, head of programming at GB News.
"It's humbling because we are a small start-up with a fraction of the resources of others, but what we lack in size we make up for in passion and determination to provide a welcoming home for honest British news and debate.
"All our presenters will have the freedom to say what they think, to have some fun and to be brave about covering the issues that really matter to the people of Britain."
The channel will be available almost universally from launch, with carriage on Freeview, Sky, Freesat, Virgin Media and Youview.
