ITV faces £70m fine for rigged phone-ins

The TV premium phone in scandal for ITV refused to go away today as it faces fines of up to £70m from the TV regulator OfCom. The announcement comes not long after GMTV was fined £2m (covered in 'In the News' on 27 September). MP Peter Hain described the scandal as “almost daylight robbery” with consumers having spent nearly £8m on premium calls where they had no hope of being counted.
