Rupert Murdoch's Talk TV network is to cease broadcasting as a traditional television channel in the summer and move solely online.
The network launched in 2022 but has struggled to attract viewers on its linear platform. In contrast, many videos clipped up from its shows perform well on YouTube. It comes a month after its star presenter, Piers Morgan, also saw his show moved from its terrestrial weekday evening slot to being solely online. Scott Taunton, Talk TV's president of broadcasting, said in a briefing to 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. We need to adapt to this as a priority." He added: "We are therefore intending that Talk comes off linear television from early summer and our focus will be on streaming." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68481606 ---------------------------- What was that about it being successful? |

the pandemic finally forced me to stop watching the news. It became obvious that they were just trying to frighten the entire population on a continuous basis. The only other time i've watched it since was on the day the queen died

Depends where you are in the world really
TV news might not have much traction here anymore but it's still hugely important in a lot of countries |

BBC Media Show
Radio 4 Last Night, debated how Talk TV: really was Peirs Morgan TV. Once he moved to YouTube they all had to follow. Murdoch's Son lost his patience with them. They never even bothered to add subtitles Like the better GBnewsHD, has 24/7 Subtitles SkyNewsHD Turns off their subtitles from 2AM to 6AM They also stated that SkyNews has lost a lot of money. It is no wonder the BBC is using the World BBC News broadcast from USA, and London. It saves them from paying for expensive staff in the UK Last edited by arista; 07-03-2024 at 01:54 AM. |

Talk Radio was GREAT.
Talk TV is absolute %$Ł& and getting worse. Their presenters suck, from annoying bore Alex Phillips to an endless steam of MPs presenting shows when they SHOULD be working for their constituents. The whole station has no structure. It's dire. And GB News is going down the same route. Far too replay snippets of old shows because they can't show adverts on YouTube. Very boring and repetative. And GB News is Ł80M in DEBT. I've actually gone back to watching Sky News. |

You are so wrong. In that debate on R4 they explained how GBnewsHD now get's 3 million viewers taking BBC and Sky News viewers. Example Long newspaper reviews this morning with 2 good guests Norman Baker (LibDem) and Renee Hoenderkamp (GP) |

Last year CNN averaged just 481,000 viewers, its worst showing since 2014.

Talk TV went a bit mental when they moved Julia, Mike and Ian Collins to weird schedules and they have never recovered
