The BBC has moved long-standing editor of Radio 1's Newsbeat, Rod McKenzie, in the wake of an investigation into allegations of bullying – The Independent reports.
The Independent reports that the BBC’s head of programmes, Ceri Thomas has told Newsbeat staff that McKenzie is being moved to another area of the corporation.
A source close to McKenzie told The Independent: “He strongly rejects these claims and maintains that his behaviour is entirely in keeping with a pressurised news environment.”
The BBC said: “We do not discuss internal staff or disciplinary issues.”
