Piers Morgan Expands 'Uncensored' YouTube Channel

Piers Morgan is leaving Rupert Murdoch's News UK to fully focus on his 'Uncensored' YouTube channel, which has grown to 3.6 million subscribers. The move, facilitated through his production company, Wake Up Productions, involves taking ownership of the 'Uncensored' brand, with News UK retaining a commercial interest until 2029. Morgan aims to expand the brand initially in the U.S. market, citing YouTube as a powerful platform following recent U.S. elections. This decision comes after a multimillion-pound deal with News UK, which included hosting on the now-defunct TalkTV. Morgan's strategy mirrors media figures like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, focusing on independent online content. Despite the transition, Morgan will continue occasional collaborations with News Corp, including writing for its publications.
