Making the news "less London"

The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ in March announced plans to shift focus from the capital in a βcommitment to better reflect, represent, and serve all parts of the country". When GB News launched, it promised to βreach out to non-metropolitan audiences beyond London and engage them in our national conversation". So what does it mean to have a "non-metropolitan" bias?
