Tony Blackburn to return to BBC after being sacked

Tony Blackburn will return to Radio 2 next year, after being taken off air in February following a review into sex abuse at the BBC. Blackburn was taken off air because his evidence to the Jimmy Savile sex abuse inquiry "fell short" of the standards demanded by the broadcaster, BBC director general Tony Hall previously said. Dame Janet Smith's report criticised the BBC for failing to properly investigate allegations made by the teenager.
