The Sun loses £66m amid continued payouts over phone-hacking scandal

Total losses at the Murdoch-owned tabloid have now reached £515m over the past five years, amid declining print sales and the high cost of paying damages to victims of illegal information gathering.

The Sun is still facing a number of lawsuits including one brought by Prince Harry in a case due to go to trial before the high court next year.

Filings for the British arm of Murdoch's News Corp empire also reveal that the group's radio and television arm lost nearly £54m, mainly driven by the cost of running the rightwing news channel TalkTV, which announced last month it was going online-only amid low ratings.

The channel has struggled to match its main rival GB News for ratings and its best-known presenter, Piers Morgan, said recently that he would be leaving his nightly show to focus on his YouTube channel.
