On Wednesday the trial heard from a radio announcer, who said she was left in a "panic" after Mr Travis grabbed her breasts when she was broadcasting live on BBC Radio 4. But she said she did not complain about what had happened to her at the time because she found it "very embarrassing" and was young and "enjoyed" her job.
The court heard that the woman, who was a BBC trainee, had been frightened she would mess up an announcement but could not tell her bosses because he was a "big star". "I think you're always not sure if something is bad or not," she said, adding: "It didn't feel like an accident."
Another witness, who was based at Chiltern Radio from 2000-2004, said Mr Travis touched her breast the first time they met. The witness also said she could remember another incident when a female colleague had shouted at Mr Travis after he allegedly put his hand up her skirt.
Chiltern Radio employee Simon Cliffe told the court he was aware one of the alleged victims who worked at the station felt "uncomfortable" around Travis, but said that he knew of only one formal complaint.
Asked by Mr Vullo, defending Mr Travis, whether the complaint was because his client had been "overly tactile", he said: "It was probably stronger than that. Maybe an invasion of privacy or an invasion of space."
On Wednesday the trial heard from two other witnesses - one from the BBC, and another from Chiltern Radio.
The women gave evidence anonymously, behind a curtain and out of Mr Travis's view.The women gave evidence anonymously, behind a curtain and out of Mr Travis's view.
