Are you sure? Maybe I don't live in the real world but the one I live in would see executives of companies tell a few sandal wearing nut jobs to go **** emselves if it meant their profits would be affected.
However, I think it is fair to say that if there is a wider public backlash against a presenter, and it negatively affected their public profile, and enough people complained to the extent that advertisers started withdrawing, then I think they would most certainly act and sack/cancel said presenter. I know I would. I would want to make money. Probably a bit more boring than your interpretation but for what it's worth I don't think what Keegan said is enough to provoke such outrage.
