Competition in conservative media
Designed to compete with GB News, a conservative channel launched last summer, TalkTV is entering a very crowded British media landscape.
In June 2020, Mr Murdoch’s group, News Corp, launched Times Radio, which was supposed to compete with BBC Radio 4, the public news channel.
While the 91-year-old Australian tycoon has long resented UK law banning pro-Trump content-which he can, however, broadcast on his Fox News channel in the US-he has found fertile ground for his empire in the Kingdom. United in polemics and agenda anti woke up of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
And he has the advantage of having good relations with the Conservative government, which recently targeted the BBC and Channel 4, another public broadcaster.

According to Ms. Seaton, it is about destroying British institutions for the benefit of a political imperative, without an alternative perspective.
