'Can't defy audiences'
Piers Morgan to move TalkTV show Uncensored to YouTube
PA MediaPiers Morgan is taking his daily Uncensored show off TalkTV to focus on its YouTube channel.
The broadcaster said television schedules had become an "unnecessary straitjacket" and that moving online would allow him to conduct longer, more in-depth interviews.
He also said it would enable him to attract a more global audience.
The show's YouTube channel currently has 2.35 million subscribers, many times its estimated daily TV audience.
The announcement comes less than two years after Morgan was recruited to be the star presenter for the launch of TalkTV by News UK, a subsidiary of the Murdoch family's News Corp.
The channel was one of a number set up to offer alternatives to the news coverage of the more established broadcasters.
But Morgan's move will raise questions about its future, and the role of traditional TV in general. . .
