Gary Lineker returns to our screens after BBC backs down – Monday morning updateAfter a shambolic weekend for the BBC after they suspended the Match of The Day presenter, the broadcaster left with no alternative but to back down if they wanted to resolve the situation.
In his statement, BBC Director General Tim Davie apologises again for loss of BBC Sport programming over the weekend. Davie also recognises the “potential confusion caused by the grey areas of the BBC’s social media guidance” that was introduced in 2020, adding he wants to “get matters resolved and our sport content back on air”.
