ICSTIS and premium phone lines: 成人论坛 statement
|
The 成人论坛 issued a statement after ICSTIS, the premium rate services regulator, announced "measures to restore public trust in participation tv".
听
The 成人论坛 statement reads:
听
"We welcome today's (Thursday) useful and constructive meeting. The 成人论坛 is conscious of its responsibilities to ensure that all of its audiences have complete confidence in the integrity of phone lines used in its output.
听
"The 成人论坛 differs from commercial broadcasters in that we do not use premium rate numbers to generate revenue, except for a small number of clearly defined charitable occasions such as Comic Relief and Children in Need.
听
"For all competitions, the 成人论坛 seeks to charge the lowest possible rate with the aim of not making a profit. It is for this reason that the 成人论坛's own editorial guidelines give clear guidance on the use of premium rate lines and ensure that all 成人论坛 programmes adopt the ICSTIS codes when using such lines.
听
"We can confirm that a full review of 成人论坛 programmes which use premium rate telephone lines, led by Jana Bennett, Director of 成人论坛 Vision, is already well underway and a report will shortly be made to the Director-General.
听
"We have already agreed to share the report with ICSTIS. We look forward to contributing fully in the consultation process announced by ICSTIS this afternoon."
