I think it is an abuse of the 'power' of TV. I wish a retailer
would tell them that their prices are as low as possible and if
they were to give anything away then other customers would have to
subsidise it or they would go out of business.


Cheaper than advertising, possibly?

I've noticed that many of the freeby donors don't get much of a
mention, if any at all.

I expect there is a huge difference between what the researcher promises &
the editor produces. TV producers are only interested in ratings and are
completely ruthless in achieving their goal.
