“News personality Piers Morgan is set to return to television screens Monday with a new show whose debut episode features an interview with former President Donald Trump. The British journalist and broadcaster’s program, “Piers Morgan: Uncensored,”is set to air on Fox Corp.’s Fox Nation streaming services and News Corp’s new U.K. TV venture TalkTV.
The two companies in September announced that Mr. Morgan had signed a global deal to appear on outlets across Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, including TV and columns for the Sun and the New York Post newspapers. Mr. Murdoch and his family are significant shareholders in both Fox Corp. and News Corp, which owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal. Mr. Murdoch is chair of Fox Corp. and executive chairman of News Corp. Mr. Morgan has tweeted a trailer for the new show in recent days in which he puts to Mr. Trump that he lost the last election, before the former president ends the interview early and storms off the set.“
