I hadn't realised that these complaint summaries were broadcast in cases where the complaint was rejected, I thought it was part of the "punishment" for breaking the rules that they had to broadcast the findings.

Was it the broadcaster's choice in that situation, and could they still do it now? For example after a high profile pile-on resulting in a load of complaints to OFCOM which ultimately get rejected?

The BCC only handled personal complaints against TV and radio programmes. For example if a contributor was unfairly treated or a person was misrepresented.

It doesn't exist any more. Originally there was the BCC and the Broadcasting Standards Commission which handled taste and decency complaints. The BCC merged into the BSC and then the BSC was incorporated into Ofcom

I've not seen an Ofcom in vision ruling for years
the last was probably GMTVs phone scandal, so I imagine they'd still happen with something that serious, but no not if the complaint is not upheld
