Piers Morgan signs up for Rupert Murdoch's new channel TalkTV

The Telegraph  

Rupert Murdoch has ambushed the British television industry with the launch of an insurgent current affairs channel spearheaded by the former News of the World editor Piers Morgan, aiming to succeed where GB News has struggled. The media mogul has signed up Mr Morgan as the star presenter for TalkTV, which is scheduled to go on air early next year and broadcast “proper hourly news bulletins, sports and entertainment shows as well as current affairs, debate, opinion and documentaries”. News UK, the publisher of Mr Murdoch’s newspapers, has been exploring entering the fray for two years but appeared to have rejected the idea of a broadcast channel in April. At the time Rebekah Brooks, the company’s chief executive, said that the costs of a rolling news channel comparable to Sky News or GB News would be too high to deliver a return.
