The talkTV channel, whose supposed star attraction Piers Morgan has been 
beaten in the ratings by Brexit boy Nigel Farage on equally-ailing rival 
rightwing channel GBNews (not to mention reruns of the 70s Britcom "The 
Good Life," or as it was called on US public TV stations "The Good 
Neighbors"--with that spelling--on the Gold channel), is supposedly getting 
Rupert's personal attention as Fox News people are being rounded up to 
tweak the channel, employees of Murdoch's talkradio (of which the majority 
of the talkTV schedule is simulcasts of their shows) are disgruntled and 
the rumor mill on both talkTV and GBNews (including a possible merger) is 
going wild:

At certain points, the prime time schedule of talkTV has scored a zero in 
the ratings.  Morgan's show is also on Fox Nation in the US (streaming, so 
nobody's reporting ratings numbers) and Murdoch's Sky News Australia 
(airing over 14 hours after live telecast in the UK--and when is Comcast 
going to pull the rights to use the Sky trademark for what is basically 
Aussie Fox News?).
