Rupert Murdoch's TalkTV is set to transition from a traditional broadcast TV channel to an online streaming platform after two years of operation marked by poor ratings and financial losses. The move to digital only follows weeks after Piers Morgan, one of the channel's prominent figures, quit his daily linear show to stream exclusively on YouTube. The closure of TalkTV as a linear channel is part of a broader trend affecting UK news channels, with GB News also reporting significant financial losses of £75m over two and a half years.
