Piers Morgan said that he is ending his TalkTV show on British TV and instead will do a YouTube series.
Morgan told Semafor that he “just decided that I no longer want to create my show for linear television — I just want to go full digital globally.”
His show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, was one of the flagship programs on TalkTV, the channel owned by News UK. A spokesperson for the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In the Semafor interview, Morgan cited the “gigantic” audiences he was getting on the digital platform versus the traditional network. He said that a recent interview with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was seen by 50,000 people on TalkTV but five times as many on YouTube. Morgan said that he co-owns the show with News Corp.
Morgan’s decision to end the TalkTV show and concentrate on the Piers Morgan Uncensored Channel raises questions about the future of the linear channel. His show launched almost two years ago.
