Piers Morgan's Uncensored Show Lands on Channel 5 in Groundbreaking Deal

In a surprising move, the popular YouTube news show Piers Morgan Uncensored has found a new home on British television channel 5. The 90-minute weekly highlights program will begin airing next Friday, marking a significant shift for the show that previously aired on the now-defunct TalkTV network and had found success on the video-sharing platform.

Piers Morgan, the show's host, expressed his excitement about the "game-changing partnership" with 5, stating that Uncensored has become one of the world's fastest-growing and most-watched YouTube news channels, amassing over a billion views in just three years. The show features Morgan's take on the week's news, as well as high-profile interviews with figures such as Donald Trump, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the "real-life Martha" from the Baby Reindeer story.

5's commissioning editor, Federico Ruiz, described the decision to bring Uncensored to the channel as a thrilling opportunity, noting that the show's "straight talk, big opinions, and unapologetic personalities" align perfectly with their viewers' preferences. Ruiz sees the partnership between a linear, terrestrial broadcaster and a current affairs YouTube channel as an exciting development that reflects the evolving media landscape.
