TV phone services 'fail viewers'

There has been a "systemic failure" in the way TV channels have run premium rate phone services, Ofcom has found.
The media regulator launched an inquiry following a number of scandals involving phone-ins in programmes.

The inquiry found broadcasters were "in denial" about their responsibilities to viewers and saw phone-ins as a way to generate revenue.

The inquiry comes on the day the BBC's director general is meeting with the Trust over recent editorial lapses.
