GMTV Fined And Makes Challenging TV
“GMTV has been fined £2million for cheating its viewers out of £20million,” says the Sun.
Is this?
a) Good value
b) France
c) Kerry Katona
Don’t, bother calling in because GMTV has removed all premium rate services from its broadcasts.
The show’s creatives have been working overtime to dream up a filler to replace the popular phone-in slot.
As a result we can exclusively reveal that viewers are invited to count the hair on presenter Andrew Castle’s top lip and, in the interests of fairness, extend the same courtesy of his co-host Fiona Phillips.
The best answers go into tie-breaker with the winner working out how much money GMTV made from its “PHONE-IN FIX” (winners were picked before the lines had closed) given that around 25million callers, paying up to £1.80 a time, had no chance of winning. And that 130,000 viewers have had their money refunded.
Get counting now…

So they still make £18 million - guess they won’t be refunding those they fiddled?
