LONDON (AP) - The British Broadcasting Corp. said Wednesday it was suspending all phone-in contests and interactive quizzes after an investigation exposed several rigged competitions.
The BBC, which has been battered by revelations about bogus contests and doctored footage, said an internal inquiry found that "a small number of production staff ... have passed themselves off as viewers and listeners."
BBC Director-General Mark Thompson said six new cases had been uncovered in addition to a previously known incident involving the children's TV show "Blue Peter."
