Rejected petition Limit the number of repeat films and programmes on terresterial TV

More details

Many TV programmes are repeated again and again, especially on Freeview Channels. Some channels repeat the same film for example, several times in one month. It would appear that these channels buy the rights to a limited number of films and programmes and then repeat them again and again over the year.
All of the Channels solely on Freeview receive good advertising revenue and it cannot cost that much to introduce new films and programmes, The situation needs to be properly regulated and controlled and the public given a fair cross section and new programmes to watch.
