A few months ago Murdoch’s new TV Network, TalkTV, launched with much fanfare. However, things aren’t going all that well… with the channel registering zero views at times. So we unpack what’s wrong with TalkTV and if they really can thrive.

@johnnigelguy3800

Its failing because it hires old has been hags who have been around the block a thousand times and moan all the time. All these dinasaurs are well past they're sell by date.

@user-nq8gg7sh2c
December 28, 2023 at 4:24 am
Well Talk TV is created for just Piers Morgan by Murdoch after he exits ITV News by running out the door. Since he made that fit about the British family every time. It's another reason why its failing besides the network not sticking to real conservativism like GB news does. It's the reason why GB News skyrocket their ratings since then after GB News left Discovery

Piers Morgan keeps asking what a woman is because he's never felt the touch of one

Piers Morgan.,talk radio,loves him,billed as talk radio uncensored, what a joke that is,every break in the program, here's piers,talk radio,nobody likes him,maybe his mama did.
@KneeJerkReactor
December 28, 2023 at 4:24 am
I'm gonna be honest. In my opinion, it is the British people and their sense of taste in these shows that are boring. I mean, I tried watch the UK version of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. I told myself "Hey, I am Educated and Refined, surely I can power through this".
I quickly discovered that once you get used to watching the bombastic and controversial US format shows (and Mexican Telenovelas), it is the opposite of the UK shows and therefore almost unbearable. I am not judging the British people here. Because just as much as I cannot stand the "dull and boringness" of UK TV (it does not help liven me up when the narrator's tone is monotonous), the British cannot stand the dramas in these US formats.
Overall, I think that it is a culture thing. Nothing to do with the host, the format is just something the British cannot stomach.

CNN had the same problem with Peirs. – He wasn't bringing in the ratings.

The opinioun laden news channels has ruined the social fabric of the United States…the UK seems in a rush to follow its not about profit or even the views for them it's about putting across their political ideology…..
@siddhuangara
December 28, 2023 at 4:24 am
But wait a minute, "tldr" has been live on youtube since the past 7 years and have ~6.5 mil subs currently. Going by this reference "uncensored" doesn't seem to be doing that bad with ~1 mil subs since they started about an year ago. Considering that they average a 5X view count per youtube video compared to your channel + the fact that their TV presence is backed by deep pockets….. They don't seem to be failing in much measure. Coming to their TV competition, esp. BBC which has been established since ages, it's not a fair comparison. I think the situation will be very very different 10 years down the lane. And lastly, I know you lean left a lot and wouldn't take well to right wing news, but calling "uncensored" opinioned content while also bludgeoning your audience with YOUR opinion and calling "uncensored" 'boring' about 10 times in this single video is a bit teapot calling the kettle black, isn't it?

Trust me, as an expat who has lived in the US for 30 years, you definitely do not want these cunning stunts in the UK, it’s bad enough that you had a wanna be T💩ump as the the PM, but beware, the best is yet to come, privatized medical care is only one. Piers is a twat, Talk TV is the UK version of Faux “news” complete and utter tossers, you have been warned.. wake up or be doomed🙈🙈🙈

He is basically talentless arsehole!!!
@johngorny8306
December 28, 2023 at 4:24 am
Because opinions don't matter to the masses on trivial matters such as culture wars and the topics they run with, they are uninteresting and a waste of time. They have a minority audience shown from the numbers. Pointless imo.

that video aged very well😂Piers gained so many new viewers and his shows has been quoted on many different occasions and by different media. he just needed few more months. there is still big audience who loves watching him and agrees with point of view
@user-yf4eu3lt9b
December 28, 2023 at 4:24 am
To me, Piers is not only highly unprofessoonal with his behaviour towards guests he doesn't agree with, not only narcissistic with his believe he gets everything better then others, even experts in respective fields, but also very unintelligent in every possible respect, be it analytical or emotional or communicative or cultural intelligence. Whoever made him an influential journalist should burn in hell.
@grahammutlow1612
December 28, 2023 at 4:24 am
Who is this idiot? I was looking to catch up one a Mike Graham interview I'd missed.
Talk TV is a of Talk Radio which has been running for 5 or 6 years This and GB news are a breath of fresh air. Real views and public participation. Unfortunately being on a channel No after the kids channels and not even mentioned in newspaper listings it will take time for people to find these new channels. Not a fan of Piers, as he's to mainstream, but he does have contacts, but you need a variety of views. Certainly many journalists from the Times, The Telegraph and The Independent feature in half hour discussions, not just 5 minute sound bits as BBC, ITV and Sky. Both the government Labour, Liberal, Reform and other party reps, get a say and are regularly grilled. Just great not to have only left wing views from privileged people who all went to the same Universities.Only these stations have even talked about the attack on our freedom during the Covid panic
