Tony Livesey leaves BBC Radio 5 Live after 16 years with the broadcaster, following allegations connected to his former boss David Sullivan. Multiple reports say Livesey stepped back from his 10pm to 1am show last month after the claims were raised, including his previous work connected to Sullivan’s Sport newspapers. The allegations gain additional visibility after Livesey appears in a BBC investigation programme, described by outlets as Panorama, which focuses on David Sullivan. BBC News and The Independent report that Livesey steps away from his Radio 5 Live role after the allegations surface and after his appearance in the investigation. The Guardian adds that staff at 5 Live are told he will not return to the station. The Mirror also reports that Livesey has parted ways with the BBC after his involvement in the BBC investigation into Sullivan. Across the outlets, the sequence described is: allegations emerge about Sullivan and Livesey’s prior role; Livesey steps back from his radio programme; he then leaves the BBC following the investigation coverage.
