GB News' first broadcast has been met with more than 350 Ofcom complaints from angry viewers.
People got in touch with the broadcasting watchdog to express their upset over comments made about coronavoris by Dan Wootton on his show Tonight Live, Daily Star reports.
GB News was launched at 8pm on Sunday, June 13 with an episode of Tonight Live with Dan Wootton, but it seems it didn't go down well with a lot of viewers.
Ahead of the announcement that the government would be postponing the June 21 'Freedom Day' - when lockdown restrictions were expected to lift - the former Sun journalist launched into a scathing rant against Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
He said: "Boris Johnson has bottled it. Freedom Day won't take place next Monday, Britain won't be open again. We will still be haunted by the pandemic despite having the world's best vaccine rollout.
"Lockdowns are a crude measure. Mark my words in the years to come we will discover they have caused far more deaths and devastation than the government has ever admitted."
He went on to claim that the "doomsday scientists and public health officials have taken control".
He said that they are "addicted to power" and suggested they had "terrified the public into supporting lockdowns".
And he said that if people don't fight back, the damage is going to be "irreversible".
While some viewers supported Wootton's views, many rushed to make complaints to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom about them.
373 complaints have been received so far.
Wootton also said: "If we struggle to get freedom in the middle of summer, then I struggle to maintain hope."
He told his viewers that former Prime Minister Theresa May was right after she said in the House of Commons that the country should be given full freedom once more because new variants of coronavirus will continue to come.
Wootton spoke of the strain that many industries are being kept under, including wedding businesses, nightlife and theatres.
The delay to the easing of lockdown was confirmed the following day when Johnson announced Freedom Day would be postponed by four weeks.
