I don't see why everyone is assuming end of Talk TV? Presumably he'll still be within News UK/News Corp and they might have a best of compilation in the linear schedule? either that or they'll stick another of their right wing talking heads in there and see the same ratings and ad revenue.
Thing with him becoming purely a YouTuber or any social media is that it's a big playing field full of lots of well established players. TV is a smaller pond, he'll be far less profile off it.
I wonder if the recent raking up of his phone hacking allegations from his Mirror days has anything to do with it? Not a good look for News Ltd who've been trying to distance themselves from that for over a decade.
