OfCom has said "oh no you don't" to ITV regarding plans to cut the number of hours of kids TV programmes aired on its main channel. ITV wanted to cut the number of hours of children's shows aired by ITV1 from eight to two, presumably using the other six hours to air extra editions of their new phone-in quiz show 'Give Us Your Cash, Suckers'. But OfCom have refused the required permission to make the cut - meaning ITV are going to have to air the much less profitable show 'Give Us Your Pocket Money, Kids' instead. Or something like that.
