TalkTV shut down just weeks after Piers Morgan's sensational exit


TalkTV has been axed as a terrestrial TV channel by News UK just two years after it was launched and just two weeks after Piers Morgan quit TalkTV and moved his Uncensored show to YouTube permanently

As reported by The Mirror, he told staff: "Two years ago, we would not have been brave enough to launch a channel without a linear presence, but audiences of all ages have moved fast and smartphones are now the primary device where news is consumed. Talk will continue broadcasting as a livestreaming news and opinion channel, distributing through streaming platforms to include YouTube, Amazon Fire, Samsung, LG and others. It comes after Piers Morgan said he was leaving TalkTV as he felt working on his show on terrestrial TV was like "an increasingly unnecessary straightjacket".
