Exclusive: Sangita Myska is unlikely to be restored to influential UK news radio station Lbc after being taken off air in opaque circumstances, sparking a revolt among listeners.
The former BBC journalist was abruptly removed from her Lbc weekend show on April 20 and was replaced by Ali Miraj, a former Conservative Party parliamentary candidate.
Myska being “disappeared” has stoked anger among Lbc’s 3M listeners, with more than 22,000 people signing a petition demanding she be reinstated in her 1-4Pm slot on Saturday and Sunday.
