Scott Taunton, Talk TV's president of broadcasting, said in a briefing to staff: "Two years ago, we would not have been brave enough to launch a channel without a linear presence.

 

"But audiences of all ages have moved fast and smartphones are now the primary device where news is consumed. We need to adapt to this as a priority."

 

He added: "We are therefore intending that Talk comes off linear television from early summer and our focus will be on streaming."

 

He said there was "no doubt" over the channel's future, adding: "It just won't be distributed on linear."

To watch from a Q box you should be able to use the YouTube app to get the TTV live stream.

 

Perhaps interesting to note the viewing figures there: under 2,500 for mid morning, which really isn't anywhere near enough to sustain a 24-hour satellite broadcast service.
