I'm not sure him being out of contact for 9 hours on a flight would help matters.

For some reason they also ditched the movie (At Any Price) that was supposed to be after MOTD.

The arrogance of Tim Davie in that interview is something else. The fact he's "sorry" but this is entirely of his and BBC management's making.

5 Live will probably only have live commentary from one match and the local stations don't necessarily do Premier League matches. 

Radio commentary is different to TV commentary. Local radio commentary is usually biased towards one team so not that suitable

Wouldn't have happened like this in a commercial world £5b a year organisation

Tim Davie was appointed in Sep 2020   it was a 2 year contract , its either past that point or will run to end of this football season.

Put him back on air , be clear the non negotiable terms of the new deal offered and let it playout would be my call, or just pay off the last 3 months.

Either way, there is no way back for either side, and the BBC should stop trying to hold onto him.  Time to move on for all

 Contract runs until 2025.

Although I’d imagine most matches will have at least one BBC commentary. I think a lot of the time those delivering reports are also commentary so audio goal clips can be used. Even IRN reporters used to (maybe still do) commentate on every game, no idea if those commentaries were heard in full anywhere, but I’d imagine it’s a standard practice at the BBC too. 

I think any biases would be get possible to get around in the edit.

Radio commentary wouldn’t be ideal but better than silence.

Although comes with other issues. Such as commentators not wishing their commentary to appear on tonight’s programme and more production to make it usable.

The 1900 bulletin on BBC News (24) just now was, erm, 'interesting', presentationaly. 

[list]
[*]60+ sec countdown straight out of the travel show credits. 
[/list]

[list]
[*]No headlines, at the top of the hour, just titles. 
[/list]

[list]
[*]Lukwesa Burak giving a stilted introduction to the Tim Davie 'interview'*
[/list]

[list]
[*]Very awkward studio discussion between Lukwesa and a media correspondent who looked visibly uncomfortable. 
[/list]

If this was a clip from a news broadcast from another part of the world, you would have been forgiven for worrying if they were on air at gun point.

* Is it an interview when the person you are attempting to hold to account has the power to sack you if he doesn't like your line of questioning?

I suppose it is interesting to see how long an actual clean programme would be without any of the padding. 20 minutes compared to 1 hour 20 minutes. Assuming they are showing all of the scheduled matches, that means there is usually a LOT of padding & not much action. Having said that, Gary Lineker,the analysis & punditry is very much the programme so maybe the 1 hour faff is worth it.

Wifi is available on a lot of flights now.
