So Thursday's overnights for TalkTV show a 14,000 average audience for Tom Newton-Dunn's Newsdesk at 7pm, 118,000 average for Piers Morgan Uncensored at 8pm, and 38,000 average for The Talk, aka The Sharon Osbourne Show Without Sharon Osbourne (massively up from Wednesday's 9,700, Sharon's last show).
UPDATE: @PiersUncensored ended its launch week at No1 in its UK slot last night - beating BBC News, Sky News & GB News. If someone had told me we’d achieve that in week one, on a brand new network, I’d have said they were bonkers!

The problem is simple; Piers has assembled a team of a scale close to nightly network chat shows on US tv - but is getting nowhere near their audience figures. BBC News, Sky News and GB News run on much smaller production teams, with, probably, Dan Wootton needing the most support. He hasn't worked out how to turn down the air-conditioning for himself.
