Piers Morgan is leaving Rupert Murdoch’s media empire three years after signing a multimillion-pound deal, according to multiple media reports.
Morgan will take over ownership of the “Uncensored” media brand, which currently has over 3.6 million subscribers on YouTube, through his production company, Wake Up Productions. This continues Morgan’s focus on expanding his brand in the United States and internationally as he moves away from traditional media to focus more on digital.
As part of this change, Morgan reportedly struck a four-year revenue-sharing deal with News UK, which will give the Murdoch-owned company a portion of the advertising revenue for “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
