Channel 4 urged to rename comedy series 8 Out of 10 Cats (www.mirror.co.uk)

This is obviously just a marketing stunt, but...

Cat food brand WHISKAS® has launched a campaign challenging Channel 4 to update the name of its popular comedy show

Cat food manufacturer WHISKAS® has called on Channel 4 to rename its flagship comedy programme, 8 Out of 10 Cats. The show took its inspiration from the brand's legendary advertising slogan from its 1970s campaign which claimed "8 out of 10 cats" favoured the well-known feline food.

However, a new NielsonIQ survey of 300 cat owners shows the famous catchphrase needs updating, as nine out of 10 moggies now prefer its latest recipe.
