Yes Sacking him will save some cash.


But still, they could have kept Hardtalk
just use cheaper presenters


Bloody BBC News
what a mess


Was just on Newswatch 12mins programme
on BBCnewsHD



[Stephen Sackur, the host of HARDtalk,
called the decision "depressing" and "incredibly dumb."]


Sure Stephen
but you should have said I will leave.
But please keep Hardtalk going
late at night



[For 19 years he has held the powerful
to account on a show that attracts
huge audiences around the world.
Now it is over.
He discusses his anger with management, his pride
in his team – and what he’ll do next]
