Andrew Castle, 62, says he is ending his long-running involvement as a tennis tournament commentator after the BBC makes changes to its coverage. The broadcaster has decided to take the tournament’s commentary in a new direction, and Castle portrays his departure as having been “booted” after about 23 years. Sources describe Castle as a former top-100 tennis player and a familiar media figure, including through his work as host of the GMTV breakfast show. In his final appearance, he calls the last match of the tournament for the BBC, marking the end of a long association with the event’s broadcast. The reports focus on the timing and impact of the BBC’s decision, presenting Castle’s comments about leaving and the length of his tenure. They do not provide further detail on the specific reasons for the BBC’s change or name his replacement.
