Talk TV is still there, with expensive sets and well-paid talent. The problem is, nobody is watching. Despite having the vast resources of News UK at its disposal, the channel has not been able to maintain an audience after a decent opening night.

Jasper Jackson joins host Charlotte Henry to discuss what has gone wrong, whether this was inevitable, and if anything can be done to redeem the situation.
