Broadcaster Piers Morgan has orchestrated a multi-million pound investment deal that promises to transform his popular YouTube show into a formidable global media brand.
Breaking News: Sky News Interrupted for Major Deal Announcement
The scale of the move was underscored when Sky News was forced to issue a breaking news alert during a regular broadcast on Friday, 6th December 2025. The bulletin informed viewers that the former ITV and Good Morning Britain host was raising tens of millions in funding to turn his 'Uncensored' venture into a broad-based international media operation.
Morgan, 60, swiftly shared the clip from the news channel on his own Instagram account, captioning it "Some exciting news for Uncensored…" The announcement sent his followers into a congratulatory frenzy, with one commenting "Deserved success" and another humorously suggesting the news might cause "plates smashing in Montecito," a pointed reference to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Details of the Multi-Million Pound Media Expansion
Sky News City Editor Mark Kleinman detailed the transaction, explaining that Morgan is finalising a fundraising round of approximately $30 million, equivalent to £22.5 million. This significant capital injection will fuel the expansion of the Uncensored brand into new areas including history, technology, and sport.
The deal values the existing Uncensored business at just under £100 million before the new investment is added. The channel, known for Morgan's direct interview style, has already amassed a subscriber base of more than four million on YouTube.
In a statement provided to Sky News, Morgan said: "I'm very excited that some of the most experienced and successful players in the global media industry share my ambitious vision for Uncensored. This is the future of modern media."
Investors and the BBC Director General Speculation
The high-profile investors backing Morgan's vision include New York merchant bank The Raine Group and Greek media mogul Theo Kyriakou. This financial endorsement marks a major step in Morgan's post-mainstream television career.
The news follows recent speculation about Morgan's potential interest in another major media role. During an appearance on BBC's Newsnight the previous Monday, host Victoria Derbyshire questioned him about applying for the position of Director General of the BBC, a suggestion originally made in a tweet by former Conservative minister Michael Gove.
When probed, Morgan quipped that Gove was "deadly serious" before offering a firm "no comment" on whether he would consider taking on the role amidst the broadcaster's latest scandals.
This new funding round solidifies Piers Morgan's independent path in the media landscape, positioning his Uncensored brand as a significant, well-funded challenger with global ambitions.
