 The "Newsnight" report was scheduled for broadcast on BBC on 7 December 2011, but a decision was taken to cancel its transmission, which ultimately developed into a major crisis for the BBC when the ITV documentary was screened in October 2012.The subsequent Pollard Review found that Jones and MacKean assembled cogent evidence that Savile had a history of abusing young women, and "Newsnight" was in a position to break the story in 2011.A "Newsnight" spokesman said, "Any suggestion that a story was dropped for anything other than editorial reasons is completely untrue."
