Tony Livesey leaves BBC Radio 5 Live after 16 years, the BBC announces. Multiple outlets report that Livesey stepped back from his Radio 5 Live role last month after allegations were made about his former boss, David Sullivan, who is associated with Sullivan’s Sport newspapers. The changes follow Livesey’s involvement in a BBC investigation described by some reports as a Panorama programme linked to the allegations. According to reporting from The Guardian, staff at 5 Live are told he will not be returning to the station, after he stepped away from presenting duties when the allegations first emerged. Sky News and BBC News also state that Livesey’s departure follows his stepping back from the show. Press Gazette and the Evening Standard similarly describe the exit as occurring in the context of allegations involving Sullivan and Livesey’s prior career. The reports consistently describe the broadcaster’s position that Livesey departs after a period away from his show, while they do not provide new details on the underlying allegations beyond linking them to Sullivan and Livesey’s previous role.
