Indeed, if Carpark Catchphrase was run, as is, on a commercial station, I think you'd be pushing it to charge people even if your T&Cs tells them that "we may rip you off". And on your final point, I think lots of radio stations (both BBC and Commercial) are pleased that no one is revisiting what they got away with.

If the entry was via Premium Rate (inc 25p SMS) that would be in breach of Icstis/Payphone+ codes; and make the stations a party to criminal fraud. How many commercial stations do we all know that have picked a winner to fit the brand or delay the outcome...
