Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker was asked to step back from his hosting duties on the BBC show on Saturday after becoming embroiled in a row over impartiality. After the move, fellow hosts, pundits, journalists and players all said they would not take part in Match of the Day - or in other BBC sports TV and radio coverage over the weekend.
On Monday, after a weekend of having to scrap its shows and air much-reduced coverage, the BBC said it had reached an agreement with Lineker and that he would be back hosting again.
The weekend without sport came after Lineker, 62, became embroiled in a row over impartiality after comparing the language used to launch a new Government asylum seeker policy with 1930s Germany on Twitter.
