Problem is he is balanced and usually fair in his programme, and Talk TV viewers want opinions, like Piers Morgan or Jeremy Kyle. Seems people do not go to Talk TV for fair and balanced news, they go for opinions.
Not sure why it's baffling? He's OK but pretty ordinary and staid as a presenter, and the show doesn't offer anything new at all to the market. I always thought he was a massive News UK favourite but a read of Private Eye and he doesn't seem to be the nicest person in the world... so maybe once they decide this show isn't viable they'll take the opportunity to let him go.
