Why wouldn't a rights holder have access to the world feed commentary by the way? Cheaper deal without them?

The BBC argues he breached impartiality rules. He is, as long as he is not on air or making comments on behalf of the BBC, not subject to those rules. Just as Andrew Neill and Chris Packham were/are not.

But I’ll leave that there as it would derail the thread.

Simply not true.  You're conflating a commercial contract with staff rules 

A contract can require anything if both parties agree on signing. What's said, done, auctioned.  The parties would just in advance agree scope and limitations.

Like I said,  it's easier to control contractors than staff , for lots of legal reasons 

IR35, staff social media guidelines,  public statements etc are all meaningless in this situation.  The only thing that matters is the GL & BBC contract terms

Honest question - have you ever seen an agreement for the provision of services issued by the BBC or any other broadcaster (or business in general)?

Happy to take this to PM to explain to you why you’re wrong. 

You’re conflating so many entirely unrelated things.

Reports currently on Twitter that MOTD has been shortened from 1hr 20 mins to just 20 minutes.

No official confirmation (or breaking news alert) yet

Any ideas on what will remain in those 20 minutes?

Just the goals, and an extended play of the theme tune to start and finish?

Interludes instead of the punditry.
