GMTV boss quits over phone-in scandal – Times Online

The managing director of ITV’s breakfast broadcaster, GMTV, is to resign, it was announced today, as the station unveiled a package of measures aimed at restoring viewer confidence in its daily prize competitions.

Paul Corley will leave the station as soon as the new initiatives, which include offering refunds to entrants who were wrongly excluded, and a £250,000 charitable donation, have been implemented, GMTV said.
