Breaking! #GaryLineker: BBC ‘Sorry’ As Programmes Dropped…

The BBC says it is ‘sorry’ for schedule changes, after several BBC TV and radio sports shows have been pulled at the last minute, including Football Focus, Final Score and Fighting Talk

CityNews Nigeria reports BBC said it recognised the changes would be ‘disappointing’ for fans and it was ‘working hard to resolve the situation’

A growing number of presenters and commentators have pulled out in support of Gary Lineker, who is in a row with the BBC over impartiality

CityNews Nigeria reports that BBC says Lineker breached its social media guidelines for tweeting about the government’s new migration law

This evening’s Match Of The Day show will “focus on match action without studio presentation or punditry”, the BBC says

Lineker himself is at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium ahead of the club’s match against Chelsea this afternoon.
