Piers Morgan, the news personality who left Britain’s ITV earlier this year amid a backlash over his remarks about actor and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, has signed a global deal to appear on outlets in Rupert Murdoch’s media empire.

In a joint statement, executives at Fox Corp. and News Corp said Mr. Morgan will host a daily television show for talkTV, a coming news and opinion channel for the U.K., and write two weekly columns for the Sun and the New York Post newspapers.

Mr. Morgan’s talkTV show will appear in the U.S. on Fox Nation, a streaming service owned by Fox Corp. The show will also air on Sky News Australia.

Mr. Murdoch and his family are major shareholders in Fox Corp. and News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Morgan is among the first publicly announced hires for talkTV, a TV and video-streaming channel that will air news and opinion programming from major News Corp brands including the Sun and the Sunday Times. It is scheduled to launch early next year.

The deal will mark an on-air revival for Mr. Morgan, a TV host, writer and editor whose winding career has included stops at British tabloids, CNN, ITV and “Celebrity Apprentice.” He was most recently co-host of ITV’s “Good Morning Britain.”

In March, Ms. Markle gave an interview with Oprah Winfrey about her experiences as a member of Britain’s Royal Family, in which she said she had suicidal thoughts. Mr. Morgan said on the morning program that he didn’t believe her, sparking an argument with his co-hosts after which he walked off the set.

Mr. Morgan later said that it “was not for me to question if she felt suicidal” but reiterated that he did not think she was credible in the interview. After leaving “Good Morning Britain,” Mr. Morgan said on Twitter that he was “off to spend more time with my opinions.”

Mr. Morgan’s comments on the show prompted tens of thousands of viewers to file complaints to Ofcom, Britain’s media regulator, which opened an inquiry into the remarks. Ofcom cleared ITV earlier this month, saying that restricting remarks such as those made by Mr. Morgan would have “an unwarranted and chilling” effect on the media.
