Launch TalkTV

[Brekkie]

Piers first show got 143,000 viewers on Sky News Australia, where it airs at 9pm, so 16 hours after airing here. 114% up on the average for the slot. I assume they'll be a drop off but a danger he could have more viewers in Auscthan here.

It makes sense to have clips of discussions on YouTube or the radio website and occasionally a clip of Nick Ferrari or James O'Brien can do quite well but that's rare.

Yes, they can do very well, but of course it's highlights, it's a choice 3 or 4 minutes of a 3 hour show. Global are good at releasing video clips of their programmes but only when there's something worth showing.

I notice Piers switch attention to the Australian ratings and the views on his social media clips today.

How well known is Piers in Australia? They'd have seen him on CNN and presumably Britain's Got Talent, but does he have much of a following and reputation there?

Or is it just a case of the audience liking something new and different on Sky News Australia?

Think he’s fairly well known. They tend to follow our stuff more than we follow theirs. He did a visit a few months back and guested on a few shows.

Tuned into Talk TV on YouTube, 500 viewers and they are discussing Sharon Osbourne returning home.

Farage getting 1500 views currently.

Adam Boulton is on Talk TV at the moment.

I'm guessing the lightning is a little different tonight, because everyone on The News Desk's panel has quite the green glow.

Piers Morgan's show feels like it could just be a stand alone show for any TV channel. A weekly edition airing on Channel 5 for example could probably bring in more viewers for a weekly edition, than four shows over a week on a new channel combined.

I feel the four night a week schedule of Piers will be too much for the viewing public to stand.

Vanessa Feltz in for Sharon.

From Popbitch, which had a fair few Talk TV stories in the run up to the launch:

Is Sharon Osbourne about to steal Andrew Neil's crown for Shortest On-Air Stint? He managed eight shows at GB News before taking a break that he promised to return from – but never did. There's well-placed whispers suggesting that Sharon might be taking a similar route out after just three.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we see Piers back doing programmes on one of main channels in a year or two not because he'll have left TalkTV but to supplement it. Clarkson and Hammond are doing stuff outside of The Grand Tour so it's not something that can be ruled out.

Times Radio presenter Ayesha Hazarika on The Talk, the first time someone from their more moderate sister station has been on.

And she was on This Morning as well. I know she's freelance but considering it ends at 10pm, it doesn't give her much time to get home and sleep so she can be up and ready for Radio 2.
