Jonathan Ross found not in breach regarding the Hannah Montana remark.

Others not in breach...
- Horne & Corden (17/06/2009): Generally Accepted Standards
...I'll let you make your own jokes regarding the above.


Heh.

Elsewhere:

Live Football: UEFA Champions League 06/05/2009 Sky Sports 2 Offensive Language, 50 complaints. Any clues?

Somebody really has it in for BmiBaby and Domino Pizza.

Offensive Language on Jakers CBeebies programming? Huh, next we'll be stopping Tom & Jerry smoking in the cartoons. Oh we've already had that. I shouldn't really post this as it's tempting fate, but how long before Tom and Jerry is claimed to be too violent do you reckon?

Advertising of ITV1 daytime? What the...?

Most likely when Chelsea lost to Barcelona and Didier Drogba shouting "It's a F*cking disgrace" to the TV cameras, but at that point Sky immediately pulled away.

Didn't Sky show the swearing again as a highlight of the match?

Didn't see it myself but I've heard Sky cut to the studio just in time (meaning his naughty words were not broadcast live) but then they later replayed his comments, swears and all. Was this the case?

Yes, that's the case. They faded the audio down but it was after the swearing had gone out. A very poor mistake.

No, it was broadcast live, albeit not that audible due to the commentary

But the bigger problem was that for some reason they showed it again after the break (although presumably it wasn't meant to have the audio)

Usual complaint about BmiBaby on ITV1, and eSure on Channel 4 Weather. Incitement to crime on a Malteasers sponsor bumper nudity on Mars sponsor bumper for Friends on E4 and dangerous behaviour on a "Documentaries on 4" sponsor bumper.
Sex/Nudity on CBBC's The Slammer.
Crime on Day Three of Torchwood: Children of Earth. Also dangerous behaviour on Day One. All that chanting must be dangerous.
Substance Abuse on Can I Get High Legally?. The clue was in the title.
