Piers Morgan is retiring his daily uncensored show from TalkTV to focus on his YouTube channel.
The broadcaster said television schedules had become an “unnecessary straitjacket” and moving online would allow it to conduct longer interviews and more in-depth.
He also said it would allow him to attract a more international audience.
The show's YouTube channel currently has 2.35 million subscribers, several times its estimated daily television audience.
The announcement comes less than two years after Morgan was recruited to be the star presenter for the launch of TalkTV by News UK, a subsidiary of News Corp. of the Murdoch family.
The channel was one of several created to provide alternatives to the news coverage of more established broadcasters.
