Andrew kicked off the first show by sharing details about what viewers can expect and introduced its presenters.
During his introduction speech, he couldn’t resist taking at swipe at his BBC rivals.
He said: “We are proud to be British. The clue is in the name. While we will never hold back from covering our country’s many flaws and problems, we will not come at every story with the conviction that Britain is always at fault, usually to blame when things go wrong, generally useless.
“We won’t forget what the B stands for in our title.”
