GB News is set to be the biggest news TV channel to start in the UK since Sky News, which launched 30 years ago.
In a press release posted on Twitter, GB News said: 'One of Britain's best-loved and most charismatic journalists, Simon McCoy, is joining GB News with an afternoon programme.'
'He is widely known for his dry wit and comic banter with colleagues on air, moments which invariably go viral on social media,' the statement adds.
The press release concluded with remarks about the new hire from John McAndrew, Director of News and Programmes for GB News, in which he said: 'Simon's journalistic integrity, warmth and personality is a perfect fit for what we're doing at GB News.
'He's a brilliant journalist with an exceptional ability to relate to people in an upbeat way, so we're keen to get him out from behind a desk and talking to people from all parts of the United Kingdom.'
The 59-year-old, who joined the BBC from Sky in 2004, presented the News at One for the last time on Thursday.
The veteran journalist became renowned in recent years for his occasional dry commentary and humour when reading the news, particularly reporting on Royal headlines.
Sam Taylor, head of live and breaking for BBC News, said: 'Sharp, funny and a great colleague - it has been a delight to have Simon at the helm of the BBC News Channel and BBC News at One.
'We'll miss his one-liners, pregnant pauses and commitment to breaking news in every form, and wish him the very best for the future.'
