For the removal of adult chat channels and gambling channels on free to view/digital television.
I am calling for a ban on this type of channel being available on free to view, digital television. There are many of them & they are completely unnecessary. The adult chat channels are sleazy & uncalled for and the gambling channels add to the ever growing problem of addiction. Children are able to tune in-to them, as they please & I'm quite sure that they can easily call and send text messages to the premium rate numbers, if they wanted too. Any-one with a belief that children aren't viewing them because they're being aired at night, are wrong in thinking this & they'll continue to do so unless action is taken. The companies who are producing this material are doing so purely for large profits & don't have any respect for whom they may attract. They are far to easy to access & even after removing them, re-appear in a different location. I really can't understand why Ofcom has not yet intervened & believe it's time for action before our televisions become inundated with this content.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
