Sky News Australia has confirmed the name of its new global flagship show with Piers Morgan: Piers Morgan Uncensored.
The new show, fronted by the former CNN and Good Morning Britain anchor, will be a fearless forum for lively, intelligent debate and agenda-setting interviews; celebrating free speech and the right for people to share their views.
This is the first show of its kind broadcast across three separate continents.
Piers Morgan Uncensored will be available to watch in Australia on Sky News on Foxtel, regional free-to-air channel Sky News Regional and will also be available on news streaming service Flash.
The new, sixty-minute daily show will also be broadcast in the UK on TalkTV, in the US on Fox Nation.
Piers said:
“A year ago today, I was forced to leave a job I loved, at the peak of its success, for having the audacity to express an honestly held opinion. This shouldn’t happen in any democracy supposedly built on the principles of free speech and freedom of expression.
I’m delighted to now be returning to live television with a new daily show whose main purpose is to cancel the Cancel Culture which has infected societies around the world. I want it to be a platform for lively vigorous debate, news-making interviews, and that increasingly taboo three-letter word: fun. I also want it to annoy all the right people.”
For over 30 years, Piers has interviewed the biggest stars, world leaders and personalities from Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey, Professor Stephen Hawking, Beyoncé and the Dalai Lama to US Presidents: Clinton, Carter and Trump. His interviews have created news across the world and his outspoken defence of free speech has created international debate.
Winnie Dunbar Nelson, Executive Editor, TV at News UK, said:
“Piers Morgan is a fearless journalist and broadcaster with an unmatched ability to engage audiences internationally. With Piers Morgan Uncensored, we’ll be doing something genuinely new – a daily show created for a global audience.”
