British Airways has paused its sponsorship of The Louis Theroux Podcast following an interview with Bob Vylan's frontman.
Pascal Robinson-Foster, one half of the controversial punk duo, told Theroux in an episode which aired a few days ago that he was "not regretful" of chanting "death, death to the IDF " at this year's Glastonbury music festival.
He added that he would "do it again, twice on Sundays."
British Airways said on Saturday that the content "breaches" its sponsorship policy and has since paused its advertising on the podcast.
Meanwhile, there is pressure from the Jewish community and elsewhere on the BBC to withdraw its support for the Louis Theroux Podcast after he referred in the podcast interview to Zionism as "a form of white supremacy."
KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Leo Pearlman who owns Fulwell Entertainment, a British television, film and music production company.
