Piers Morgan Leaves Rupert Murdoch’s News UK to Focus on Expanding YouTube Channel

Morgan secures ownership of his 'Uncensored' brand and strikes a revenue-sharing deal as he shifts focus to digital and international markets.

Piers Morgan has ended his three-year partnership with Rupert Murdoch's News UK, opting not to renew his contract that expired in late 2024.
Morgan will take full ownership of his YouTube show, 'Piers Morgan Uncensored,' through his production company, Wake Up Productions, which boasts 3.6 million subscribers.
A four-year revenue-sharing deal with News UK ensures the company will retain a portion of advertising revenue from the channel until 2029.
The move aligns with Morgan's strategy to grow 'Uncensored' into a standalone business with an initial focus on U.S. and international audiences, leveraging YouTube's growing influence.
Morgan will maintain a limited relationship with News UK, continuing to write occasional columns and completing an existing book deal with HarperCollins.
