Quote:BBC World Service's sports coverage hit
Earlier, we reported on BBC radio station 5 Live suspending its football coverage.
This has also impacted the BBC World Service English-language radio broadcasting, which has a global audience.
Sportsworld was scheduled for almost four hours - from 14:06 to 18:00 GMT - but it's currently not on air.
Indeed, for 1400 GMT hour they had History Hour instead of Sportsworld. 1500 GMT hour carries The Real Story.
Apologies about limited sports coverage in the wake of the Lineker raw were at :04:50 out in a 6-minutes long 1500 GMT bulletin.
