The broadcaster, 59, who is a former editor of the Daily Mirror and the Murdoch-owned News Of The World, has struck a deal to give him ownership of his Uncensored media brand. Morgan is buying the brand, which has 3.6 million YouTube subscribers, through his production company Wake Up Productions. The deal will see News UK, which publishes The Sun and The Times, as well as being behind Times Radio and Talk TV, retain a share of the Uncensored show’s revenues until 2029. Uncensored was broadcast on Talk TV and saw him interview people including Donald Trump, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kevin Spacey. Scott Taunton, president of News UK subsidiary News Broadcasting, said the deal “gives Piers flexibility to grow his own business”.
