Presenter Tony Livesey has left BBC Radio 5 Live after 16 years at the station, the corporation has announced. Livesey stepped back from his weekday late night talk show in June, following allegations made against his former newspaper boss David Sullivan. The BBC previously said Livesey had asked to take a break from presenting his programme while the issues raised by the investigation were being examined. "I know many of you have also really enjoyed working with Tony, and we wish him well for all his future endeavours." His topical three-hour programme was broadcast on 5 Live from Monday to Thursday, featuring interviews and phone calls from listeners.
