International broadcaster Piers Morgan has revealed the title of his highly-anticipated global TV show, which is set to launch in coming months.

‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’, a daily, sixty-minute program, will air on Sky News Australia, TalkTV in the UK and Fox Nation in the US, with the outspoken host vowing to “annoy all the right people”.

“Trigger warning: I’m back … and I’m uncensored,” Morgan posted on Twitter on Wednesday night.

Morgan’s unveiling of the name of his new media venture came a year to the day since his infamous departure from Good Morning Britain, when he walked off the set of the top-rating breakfast show following an on-air spat over comments he made about Meghan Markle.

“A year ago today, I was forced to leave a job I loved, at the peak of its success, for having the audacity to express an honestly held opinion,” Morgan said on Wednesday.

“This shouldn’t happen in any democracy supposedly built on the principles of free speech and freedom of expression.

“I’m delighted to now be returning to live television with a new prime time show whose main purpose is to cancel the ‘Cancel Culture’ which has infected societies around the world.

“I want it to be a platform for lively vigorous debate, news-making interviews, and that increasingly taboo three-letter word: fun. I also want it to annoy all the right people.”

Morgan, a former newspaper editor and one-time CNN anchor, visited Sydney last month to promote his new show and to attend the 25th anniversary dinner for Sky News Australia.

The 56-year-old told News Corp at the time: “I’ll be calling out extremists from all sides, not just in Australia but anywhere – and especially those who think cancel culture’s a great idea and want to compel us all to lead their own dreary joyless lifestyles.”

Paul Whittaker, Sky News Australia chief executive officer said: “Without fear or favour, international broadcaster and journalist Piers Morgan is unafraid to tackle confronting issues head on.

“He’ll call out hypocrisy and push the boundaries as he champions free speech. His new show will be fresh, topical and spark a new form of global debate.”

The show will be available to watch in Australia on Sky News on Foxtel, regional free-to-air channel Sky News Regional and will also be available on news streaming service Flash.
