The director-general of the BBC has visited the organisation's Norwich headquarters amid a row over job and radio slot cuts.

Tim Davie was at The Forum, where is it believed he was given a tour of upgrades to the Look East television studio.

His visit comes as BBC Radio Norfolk is facing cuts as part of a reorganisation of local radio services nationally.

At least eight BBC Radio Norfolk presenters have left their roles since news of the shake-up, which has seen the popular Treasure Quest show on Sunday axed.

The axing of the show led to presenter Sophie Little launching a tirade against the plans live on air.

Last October the BBC revealed its controversial plans to overhaul its local radio services with stations sharing more content and broadcasting less programming unique to their area.

The proposals come as part of the corporation's new strategy to create a “modern, digital-led” broadcaster.

All 39 BBC local radio stations will continue with their own dedicated local programming between 6am and 2pm on weekdays.

On weekends the local output will be reduced to sports commentaries and hourly news bulletins.
