BBC Radio 4 - The Media Show, Meghan and Harry on Oprah: the media fallout

Piers Morgan looks for a new job and other aftershocks of the historic royal interview.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey delivered record ratings for ITV: at its peak, 12.4m viewers were watching, the broadcaster's biggest audience since the 2019 Rugby World Cup final. But it's also resulted in ITV's star journalist, Piers Morgan, resigning after he refused to apologise for his criticism of the couple on Good Morning Britain. What does Morgan's departure say about the future of highly-opinionated journalism in British media?

Guests: Andrew Neil, chairman of GB News, Professor Jane Martinson, City University, Benjamin Cohen, CEO PinkNews, and Scott Bryan, TV critic

Presenter: Amol Rajan

Producer: Hannah Sander

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
