Update on ICSTIS investigation and response to Press Comment
Eckoh notes today's press comment in The Sun regarding the investigation by
premium rate phoneline regulator, ICSTIS, into the You Say, We Pay competition
on Channel 4's Richard & Judy show.
Eckoh has been informed by ICSTIS that 'the reports are incorrect and the
Adjudication Panel which will determine the matter has, as yet, not considered
the case at all, let alone reached any decision in respect of it. Proper
process will be followed and it is entirely wrong to suggest that any decision
has been taken, either about whether the code has been breached or, if that were
to be established, what an appropriate sanction would be. ICSTIS has itself
published a statement and is pursuing the matter with The Sun and the Daily
Star'.
A further announcement in respect of 'You Say, We Pay' will be made upon
completion of the investigation by ICSTIS.
Also, Eckoh announces that further to the announcement made by the Company on
7th March 2007 in response to press comment on the same day, ICSTIS have
confirmed in writing that 'no action will be taken against Eckoh with reference
to the allegations reported in the the Sun newspaper on 7 March 2007 about I'm a
Celebrity...' and 'Soapstar Superstar''.
