CNN confirms end of Piers Morgan's talkshow
CNN has confirmed that Piers Morgan's talkshow will end, but said the date of the final show has yet to be decided.
Morgan succeeded Larry King in the time slot three years ago, but his show has suffered lacklustre ratings.
The former tabloid editor told the New York Times that he had discussed a new role on CNN with president Jeff Zucker after admitting his show had experienced a "painful period".
The US TV network did not comment on the 48-year-old's future with the channel.
A petition calling for Morgan to be deported over his vocal support for anti-gun legislation attracted over 109,000 signatures.
