So, ITV is in trouble with the regulator again. As a broadcaster they seem to be making more trips to the headmaster's office then I ever had too at school.
This time it was for not spending enough of their production budget outside of London. Seems reasonable.
They had spent 44% of their budget making programmes outside the capital, with Ofcom describing that as significantly below their budget.
I should friggin hope so too....... 44% that's a bloody disgrace!!!!!!!!!
What makes it even worse is that Ofcom's target is 50%. Why, does half the population live in London? Is have the landmass of the British Isles within the M25?
So not only do ITV Productions not seem to realise that there is more outside of London than Emeerdale Farm and Coronation Street, but Ofcom don't seem to realise that more than 80% of the population also live outside the M25.
Sort it!
