BBC boss denies climbdown over Lineker impartiality row
I asked Davie how was he so out of touch with his own corporation, staff and programmes that he did not foresee the chaos that would happen."I think people across the BBC, if you talk to them, are all very passionate about our standing as an impartial broadcaster.Image source,Davie said the decision to pull Lineker off air was always about buying some time until the two sides could come to an agreement over his political tweets - and said that was exactly what had happened.
In a series of tweets Lineker said he was overwhelmed by support and was pleased he and the BBC "have navigated a way through this"."He has an almost impossible job keeping everybody happy, particularly in the area of impartiality.The disruption to programmes has also clearly surprised the BBC's top managers.
BBC Two's Sunday afternoon coverage of the Women's Super League went ahead without studio analysis and had to rely on world feed commentary, while Radio 5 Live was forced to plug gaps in the schedule with pre-recorded programmes for a second straight day.
