Broadcaster Piers Morgan is leaving News UK to concentrate on his Uncensored YouTube channel. He has secured a four-year revenue-sharing agreement with News UK, which will receive a portion of advertising revenue until 2029. Morgan's move comes after he expressed frustration with the constraints of traditional television format and aims to fully capitalize on his YouTube audience.
In a significant career shift, broadcaster Piers Morgan is parting ways with Rupert Murdoch's News UK.
According to Sky News, the company will receive a portion of the advertising revenue generated by Piers Morgan Uncensored until 2029. Piers returned to News UK in January 2022 on a three-year contract, which included writing for the Sun and the New York Post as well as presenting shows on the now-defunct Talk TV channel.
Piers Morgan informed his followers of some "Some personal news" as he shared a link to an article by journalist Ben Smith. The headline from Smith announced: "News: Piers Morgan is ending his live broadcast show on UK's TalkTV, and going full YouTube. He talked to me about it." His transition to YouTube means he will escape Ofcom's oversight, yet Piers insists that escaping regulation was not the impetus for his digital shift. "Despite being allegedly so controversial, I've never had an Ofcom ruling against me," he stated during the interview with Smith.
