Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has admitted he feels uncomfortable about being at the top of the BBC s highest-paid list, which is published each year for licence fee-payers to see. The football pundit also addressed his rocky ride with the broadcaster.
Gary Lineker has revealed that he and BBC director general Tim Davie had struck a deal that he could tweet about refugees and climate change, prior to his Match of the Day suspension scandal.
In a media landscape where anyone with an internet connection has access to large audiences and mainstream publishers and broadcasters and their journalists are no longer the gatekeepers of information.
The suspension of the popular presenter – who has been the face of BBC's flagship show 'Match of the Day' for almost twenty-five years – resulted in a severe backlash against Britain's public broadcaster.
