The BBC will air “limited sport programming” over the weekend and is “working hard to resolve the situation”, a spokesperson for the broadcaster said, after presenters and pundits pulled out of several shows in support of Gary Lineker.
The BBC apologised for the changes to this weekend’s sporting schedule and said it is “working hard to resolve the situation and hope to do so soon”.
The broadcaster’s radio and TV timetables have been disrupted as a host of pundits pulled out of shows after Gary Lineker was told to step back from hosting Match Of The Day in a row over impartiality.
