Channel 4 has been fined £1.5 million following phone-in scandals on Richard and Judy's You Say We Pay competition and Deal Or No Deal, presented by Noel Edmonds.
Finalists for the Richard and Judy quiz were picked before lines closed.
In Deal Or No Deal viewers entering the competition were not given an equal chance of winning because earlier calls were favoured.
