Piers Morgan's Meghan comments break Ofcom complaints record; Viewers move from ITV to BBC


https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56427214

Some 57,000 complaints have been made about the show's coverage of the Oprah Winfrey interview on 8 and 9 March.

On 9 March, Morgan said he "didn't believe" a word Meghan had said. He left the ITV programme later that day.

Morgan responded on Twitter: "Only 57,000? I've had more people than that come up & congratulate me in the street for what I said. The vast majority of Britons are right behind me."

Good Morning Britain trails behind BBC Breakfast by 1 million viewers as ratings plummet after Piers Morgan exit

During Piers’ final episode, he stormed off Good Morning Britian during a clash with co-star Alex Beresford. The unmissable moment helped Good Morning Britain overtake BBC Breakfast in the ratings for the first time ever, with the ITV news programme reaching record viewing figures with 1.3million people turning in to watch Piers’ strop. Of course, he lapped up the news, posting: ‘Good Morning Britain beat BBC Breakfast in the ratings yesterday for the first time. My work is done.’ Well, Good Morning Britain’s success was seemingly short-lived.

On Monday March 15, BBC Breakfast reached an audience of 2.11 million during its peak at 8.15am while Good Morning Britain, which saw Ben Shephard fill in for Piers, mustered a climax of 1.24million at 7.30am. No wonder then, Piers is said to be at the centre of a £10million bidding frenzy among rival stations desperate to snap him up.

I don't watch either because I'm not in the UK. But I am surprised Piers is so popular. Seems like the US doesn't like him.
