Coronation Street 5th most complained about programme in 2014

Coronation Street was the 5th most complained about telly show during 2014, says a report issued by communications watchdog Ofcom this week.

Coronation Street came fifth on Ofcom’s list, with a gay kiss attracting many of the complaints.

However, the regulator did not investigate the complaints because it makes no distinction between kisses between same and opposite sex couples.

Top 10 most complained about TV programmes in 2014:
1. Big Brother, Channel 5 - 3,784 complaints
2. Celebrity Big Brother, Channel 5 - 1,874 complaints
3. Cutting Edge: Going to the Dogs, Channel 4 - 1,805 complaints
4. Benefits Street, Channel 4 - 967 complaints
5. Coronation Street, ITV - 367 complaints
6. The X Factor, ITV, - 360 complaints
7. EastEnders, BBC 1 - 316 complaints
8. Emmerdale, ITV - 243 complaints
9. Sky News (20/07/14) - 205 complaints
10. Channel 4 News - 193 complaints
