Piers Morgan signs a massive global deal with News Corp and FOX News Media. The journalist, best selling author and TV presenter will launch a new TV show in early 2022 as part of the deal. Furthermore, Morgan will write a weekly column for The Sun (UK) and the New York Post.
The writer of the best seller, Wake Up, will have a new book published by HarperCollins UK. Expect hardback, audio and digital editions of his new work. In addition, the former America’s Got Talent host will present a series of True Crime documentaries.
The new global TV show will air weeknights across the United States, UK and Australia. In the U.S. , the program will stream on the FOX Nation service. FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott sees Piers as a great fit. Scott says FOX Nation subscribers “will love his new show tackling the subjects everyone is talking about.”
“I’m thrilled to be returning to News Corp. which is where I began my media career more than 30 years ago. Rupert Murdoch has been a constant and fearless champion of free speech and we are going to be building something new and very exciting together.
I want my global show to be a fearless forum for lively debate and agenda-setting interviews, and a place that celebrates the right of everyone to have an opinion, and for those opinions to be vigorously examined and challenged.
I’m also delighted to become a columnist for The Sun and the New York Post, two brilliantly successful and popular newspaper brands.
I’m going home and we’re going to have some fun.”

Murdoch and Thomson React
Rupert Murdoch, Executive Chairman of News Corp hails Piers as “a brilliant presenter”. Furthermore, Murdoch calls him a “talented journalist” who “says what people are thinking and feeling”.
News Corp Chief Executive Robert Thomson says Piers “believes passionately in the contest of ideas.” Thomson believes the presenter will be compelling for a broad and growing audience.
“Gone Home”
Morgan tweeted that he and News Corp are going to “have a lot of fun”. To be clear, Morgan started his career with Rupert Murdoch.
The former Good Morning Britain host had just won an award. His former colleague Susanna Reid was on hand as Piers won “Best News Presenter” at the TRIC Awards in London. The always compelling Piers hinted at his big deal in a tweet earlier in the day: “Time for a new adventure.”
