Should GMTV be allowed to continue running premium rate phone-ins?

GMTV was fined 2 million pounds by Ofcom last month for letting viewers enter competitions they had no chance of winning.

But the Serious Fraud Office said it had not itself launched an investigation. "It's at its earliest stages," a spokeswoman said. "We are looking at it, but no decision has been made to launch an SFO investigation".

Ofcom confirmed the SFO had asked it for further details from its investigation into GMTV.

    It seems to me that the whole of ITV has this 'lets con the viewers' philosophy.As a punishment I think ITV should be fined £400 billion pounds and forced to transmit all of their programmes from a small shed somewhere in the sahara desert

    They have to get their money back somehow !! If the viewers stopped phoning these premium rate numbers they would soon make the phone numbers cheaper
