Broadcaster and journalist to take control of Piers Morgan Uncensored media brand in joint venture

Piers Morgan is leaving Rupert Murdoch’s media empire to take control of his Uncensored YouTube channel, three years after signing a multimillion-pound deal focused on leading TalkTV, which shut its traditional TV channel last summer.

Morgan and News UK, which owns the Sun, Times, TalkSport and Times Radio, struck a deal that gives him ownership of the Uncensored media brand through his production company, Wake Up Productions.
