Channel 4 fined £1.5m over unfair competitions

A £1.5m (€2m) fine was slapped on Channel 4 today over the running of premium rate competitions on Richard And Judy and Deal Or No Deal.

Nearly three million phone calls, at around £1 (€1.40) a time, were made to the 'You Say We Pay' quiz on Richard and Judy after finalists had already been chosen.
