LONDON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Britain's BBC said its top stars such as Gary Lineker could opine on political issues on social media but must stop short of campaigning, in new guidelines prompted by a row over the sports presenter's comments about immigration policy earlier this year. He was reinstated after a public backlash and near mutiny at the broadcaster, which has struggled to balance impartiality with its employees' ability to speak to millions of people on social media platforms. Lineker said on X, formerly know as Twitter, that the new guidelines were "very sensible". The BBC's journalists and others working in news and current affairs will continue to have to abide by the strictest rules on impartiality, the guidance said. Other BBC staff or freelancers will not be required to uphold the BBC's impartiality, but they must be civil and not bring the broadcaster into disrepute.

☆ Jock Zonfrillo: MasterChef Australia judge dies on eve of new series

CNN —MasterChef Australia host Jock Zonfrillo has died suddenly age 46 on the eve of the cooking show’s new series, according to a statement from Australian broadcaster Network 10. The Scottish presenter passed away in Melbourne on Sunday, according to the statement, which gave no cause of death. Zonfrillo joined the popular cooking competition in 2019, and had been due to star in the premiere of the new series on Monday alongside guest judge British chef Jamie Oliver. Perhaps his most high-profile role was on the Australian series of MasterChef, the incredibly popular television program, that in recent years made him a household name in Australia. “I truly enjoyed the time we spent together on MasterChef in Australia,” he wrote on Twitter.

The business has been valued at as much as 3 billion pounds ($3.7 billion), according to analysts. "But we do see a pathway whereby, via consolidation, ITV may be able to simultaneously both demonstrate and create value from ITV Studios," they said. ITV built up its Studios production business in the last decade to reduce its reliance on the British advertising market and tap into rising global demand for content. Revenue in the nine months to end-September rose 16% to 1.39 billion pounds ($1.71 billion). That would imply a valuation of about 3 billion pounds, in line with analysts' calculations and nearly as much as ITV's total market value of 3.27 billion pounds.
