McIntyre,who had worked at SBS since 2003 and was employed as a sports reporter since 2008,had been suing SBS for unlawful termination under the Fair Work Actand sought a court order requiring SBS to pay compensation and damages.
McIntyre found himself at the epicentre of controversy after he referred to the commemoration of Anzac Day as"remembering the summary execution,widespread rape and theft committed by these'brave'Anzacs in Egypt,Palestine and Japan".
In another tweet he wrote:"Wonder if the poorly-read,largely white,nationalist drinkers and gamblers pause today to consider the horror that all mankind suffered."
In the statement,McIntyre acknowledged the views expressed in his tweets were"contentious"and regretted"any attribution of his views to SBS and acknowledges that SBS was drawn into controversy following the expression of his views".
The broadcaster said in the statement that"Mr McIntyre was a well respected sports reporter with SBS for a period spanning over a decade,and SBS is disappointed that it was unable to continue with his services following his tweets".
Amid the controversy,which spiralled into a debate around free-speech and the limits around using employer-linked twitter accounts to express personal views,then-communications ministerMalcolm Turnbull publicly condemned Mr McIntyre's comments describing then as"despicable remarks which deserved to be condemned".
The Minister then discussed the issue directly with the broadcaster's managing director Michael Ebeid in a late-night phone call on April 25,2015.
