Rupert Murdoch’s UK media empire has been badly bruised after The Sun and TalkTV recorded heavy losses.

The latest accounts for NewsUK show the redtop has more than doubled its pre-tax losses to £127 million – thanks largely to the £99.8m set aside for “damages and claimant’s legal expenses relating to phone hacking” and “future costs“.

Revenues rose slightly from £318.6 million to £320.5 million following growth in their online business.

As for TalkTV, News UK Broadcasting lost £34 million after the channel’s launch last April, with revenues at a paltry £1.1 million.

The Times and The Sunday Times, meanwhile, fared much better.

Accounts show profits doubled to £73.2 million last year, up from £34 million the year before.

They also gained 70,000 digital-only subscribers, bringing their online total to 438,000, or 641,000 including print.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
