Channel 4 could axe Big Brother SMS voting

According to Digital Spy, UK broadcaster Channel 4 is reviewing the SMS voting process in popular reality show Big Brother, following a number of recent scandals and problems involving TV shows and premium SMS.

The eighth series of the show begins later this month, and although no announcement has been made as yet, rumours are also abound that premium rate phone line voting may also be axed in an attempt to win back viewer trust after recent problems with other shows on the channel, such as Richard & Judy.
