With Piers being shunted over to YouTube imminently, it very much feels like TalkTV is about to have the plug pulled by Murdoch

There are vibes that it seems like Talk TV could be on its way out. Piers has been on the record before now saying that his show rated better online than it did on the main Talk TV channel. It just seemed to have come out of the blue, even for Piers’ standards.

Other than his debut show and the Ronaldo interview I’m not sure that the show or channel has ever rated highly or even above GBN.

It’s always felt a bit half hearted given it was a 3 hour TV channel with a 21 hour radio vision simulcast. Yes GBN launched quite badly, but they’ve learned from their mistakes and they’ve capitalised on a niche, Talk as a TV channel has never really gained momentum.
