The announcement that Garry Richardson is leaving the sports slot on Radio 4's Today in September highlights how BBC News plays with 'the rules'. His departure has been promulgated by Jonathan Munro, Director of Journalism, not Barbara Slater, Director of Sport. Garry never went to Salford, like the rest of his colleagues in 2011.
Yet the business news on Today now 'has' to come from MediaCityUK.
Good luck to Garry. I stopped listening to Today because of annoying Paxman style interviewing.
