Er, remind me, werent some of those "horrible rip off channels" fragrantly breaking quiz rules by changing the prize value of winning labels AFTER the quiz had started and AFTER viewers had won the right to turn over the label in order to keep the game going and delay - or avoid - paying big prizes. If a village tombola stall let people pay, select a ticket, see the number (say 25) and THEN changed what the ticket won (25=Holiday, changed to 25=packet of cheeze) then Mr Plod would rush them away for a court hearing before you could say Big Ears.

And some operators were only putting through people who they knew had a wrong answer, on premium rate pay numbers.

Its usually called fraud and is strictly illegal, unlike adult content which is subjective and at worse a breach of regulations and a minor civil offence.

But hang on. The people who only put callers with wrong answers through were radio stations, and they did not go out of business.

There was a big TV awards do, based on public votes, on one of the big commercial stations, and winner was filmed receiving the award in a sequence recorded some time before voting had finished.

In fact, big public service broadcast channels were fined a total of £6 million, dwarfing anything the little fish were fined. And those big channels are still in operation.

Ofcom only stepped in when whistleblowers gave them chapter and verse.

The main reason the quiz channels vanished is not that they were fined, but that the sad pathetic loosers who spent their time throwing cash at innane grinning used car salesmen running dodgy quizzes have moved on and now play bingo, poker, or horse racing on TV, or save money and watch reruns on Challenge TV.

Gone fishing
