It was claimed that Douglas Muggeridge, the controller of BBC Radio in the early 1970s, was aware of allegations against Savile and had asked for a report on them in 1973.[203] The BBC stated that no evidence of any allegations of misconduct or of actual misconduct by Savile had been found in its files[204] and later denied that there had been a cover-up of Savile's activities.[205][206] However, there were claims by some, including DJ Liz Kershaw, who joined BBC Radio 1 in 1987, that the culture in the BBC tolerated sexual harassment.[207]
