A freelancer, i.e. a person who provides services to a broadcaster, be that as a sole trader or via a limited company, can only ever be under the control of the client whilst providing those services.

Anything else by default pushes the freelancer into IR-35, which the BBC in Lineker’s case has argued he isn’t.
You cannot have your cake and eat it.
Getting back to the issue of Pres, I see MOTD is still listed for this evening on the EPG, so perhaps they will just carry a PL produced programme.
This may be a good move for the future.
