Broadcasters will have to take out a special licence to air high-cost quizzes after scores of complaints against TV3s late-night show Play TV. If programmes are found to be money-making scams, the station may be fined or have the quiz banned. Communications Minister Eamon Ryan announced the crackdown after months of complaints from viewers who claimed they were being duped. This Bill is tackling rogue operators who operate premium-rate phone lines or text message services, he said. The legislation, which now applies to television services, will protect con- sumers, he said. Broadcasters must now be very careful in their operation of these services, Mr Ryan added. Viewers complained to the Broad- casting Authority of Ireland (BAI) last year, claiming they had been scammed by misleading, unfair and deceitful quizzes run by TV3s Play TV. This week, ten complaints against Play TV were upheld. TV3 said it has followed recommendations and the show now complies with the rules. Next month, the Communications Regulator (ComReg) will issue licenc- es to stations for premium-rate phone- lines selling ring tones, sports results, competitions and chat lines. They cov- er programmes such as The Late Late Show and The Premiership, which run weekly competitions. The minister said broadcasters which break rules could also see licences suspended. Overcharging will be a separate offence, with viewers entitled to apply for refunds. In a statement last night, TV3 said there must be clear rules applied con- sistently and fairly to all broadcasters, including those in the State sector.
