Dan Wootton has parted company with GB News, a day after media regulator Ofcom found that an episode of his show broke its broadcasting rules.
Wootton was suspended by the channel in September after comments by Laurence Fox about a female journalist prompted 8,867 complaints to the watchdog.
Ofcom's ruling, published on Monday, said Fox's remarks "were clearly and unambiguously misogynistic".
Wootton said he had left GB News to launch his own independent platform.
He said it would not be regulated by the "Ofcommunist censors", adding: "Yesterday's chilling Ofcom report clearly raises far bigger issues."
In its statement on Tuesday, the TV channel said: "Dan Wootton joined GB News before its launch and was a part of the first on-air line up.
"Dan is no longer employed by GB News and we thank him for his contribution and wish him well with his future endeavours."
