Sky Sports today terminated its contract with Andy Gray.
The decision, which is effective immediately, was made in response to new evidence of unacceptable and offensive behaviour.
The new evidence, relating to an off-air incident that took place in December 2010, came to light after Andy Gray had already been subjected to disciplinary action for his comments of 22nd January 2011.
Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports,said: "Andy Gray's contract has been terminated for unacceptable behaviour.
"After issuing a warning yesterday, we have no hesitation in taking this action after becoming aware of new information today."

But what a way to end a two-decade long spell; being sacked for speaking privately and unaired to someone else. This reminds me of Sir Paul McCartney being criticised for setting a bad example to the youth of Earth for using drugs- "it's not me telling people what I do; it's you [the media] spreading it across the papers."
