When all those vote the outcome of pre-recorded programme scams were outlawed for a few months a couple of years ago ITV's profit dropped £100million, so I think it does account for a quite large slice of their revenue.
Their profit for last year was £321million, so it looks to me like phone scams are responsible for at least a third of that, but more likely about half? They were only outlawed for a few months, not a full year.
