The Association of Television Viewers in the eastern region of Catalonia demanded that television station Antena 3 drop its popular "Patricia's Diary" show, which attracts more than 2 million viewers a day. "People who make television should learn not to manipulate human emotions in order to get audience share," said the association's president Josep Ma Guerra i Mercadal.
