Piers Morgan's ratings continued their slide Monday night as his TalkTV show "Piers Morgan Uncensored" attracted a new low of 75,800 from 8 to 9pm.

An hour earlier, The News Desk with Tom Newton Dunn fell to 3,600, and The Talk at 9pm sank to just a few thousand.

Roughly half the attendance of a Bristol Rovers match.

Bristol Rovers has that many fans?

TalkTV viewership drops to nothing at 7pm

The beleaguered station hit a new low Tuesday night, the latest BARB figures reveal, as The News Desk with Tom Newton Dunn twice registered viewership of statistically zero - with nobody watching between 7pm-7:15pm and 7:30pm-7:45pm - only managing a slot average of 4,800, with people mainly tuning in during the last quarter for Piers Morgan at 8pm.

Piers Morgan Uncensored, which on social media has begun trending as 'Piers Morgan Unwatched', averaged 76,700. As of Wednesday morning, a further 5,200 had streamed the show worldwide on his dedicated YouTube channel.

She said the company would instead focus on reaching news audiences via shows on streaming platforms, adding: “While there is consumer demand for alternative news provision, the costs of running a rolling news channel are considerable, and it is our assessment that the payback for our shareholders wouldn’t be sufficient. We need to launch the right products for the digital age".

Somebody like Farage knows he has to keep his base support (the racists) on his side. It doesn't matter if everyone else hates him.

Morgan pissed off left leaning people years ago. He then pissed off the anti-mask/anti-vaxx crowd. Then he pissed off the Trump lovers. His hatred of Meghan is about the only thing left keeping a few people interested, nobody else gives a gooseberry fool.

Ratings for the Piers Morgan interview with me were great! Unfortunately, after that interview, his show bombed completely because of the fake narrative he tried to portray. The fact is, I got a new closeup glimpse at Piers, and he no longer has what it takes. It’s over for him!

Piers Morgan Uncensored was beaten by both the BBC and Sky in the Wednesday night ratings, according to new BARB data.

The BBC News channel pulled in 127,000 at 8pm across the hour, followed by Sky News with 84,000.

Piers Morgan on TalkTV however only managed 77,000.

On social media, Morgan's colleague Tom Newton Dunn has hit out against those criticising the new station.

Posting on Twitter, the former political editor at The Sun echoed Morgan's comments that it's no longer about TV audiences.

"It’s not all about linear watching any more, which is all the daily BARB figures show. Today, there is also streaming, digital engagement and apps, which is where TV watching is going. Fwiw, we’re pleased with how much attention we’re getting so far on all these forums,

Dunn continued, "Yes, our linear watching is low - though it fluctuates - that’s undeniable. It’s very hard to break into a crowded market place, as others have shown in the last year but have gone on to do well. It always takes a long time to change people's habits and build a firm audience.

"We have a brilliant and hugely hard working team, and we have patience. What matters to us now is we’re producing an interesting news programme that does things differently and offers viewers choice. If we can keep that up, we’re confident we can slowly build a loyal audience."

Give it a week and GBeebies will retaliate by giving somebody from All Saints a 5 hour show.
