Gary Lineker the presenter of BBC’s Match of the Day for 26 years has won the National TV Award. He was sacked by BBC Director General Tim Davie because he spoke out on Gaza on social media.
Commenting on why he might have won the Award Lineker noted
“It’s not lost on me why I might have won this award” “Aside from presenting Match of the Day..” “Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it’s ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice”
The awards are chosen by viewers.
