we're not allowed to purchase advertising on other channels? oh right, i'll let everyone know
Calm down calm down , i didn't say you could not advertise on other shows i said it was annoying . so lets get this back to being a BSXtream discussion thread and not a moaning thread about BSXtream showing promos on other channels. So firstly i would like to say that some things i have seen on the show are really good and as good and maybe better than other encrypted sky channels are showing , but just not enough of it , the recently shot stuff featuring the BS and web site girls is very good , but the old porn movies shown are terrible . I would also like to ask "BABESTATION" how is the show doing and is it now permanent or still on trial ? , also are you still thinking about bringing some live element into the show as most people would prefer this . TVX on sky have a live encrypted show for just i day a week and for 2 hours only, so just wonder if BSXtream could do the same sort of thing on freeview ? ..

(As a side note, please also get some answers about BS2, losing that without warning wasn't much fun!)
as far as I am aware, BS2 won't be back on freeview in the near future unfortunately. never say never though!

we're glad people seem to be enjoying the new content, we are shooting more and more content for the channel all the time so as we get more Babestation related content, the old porn movies will start to disappear.
There are big plans for the show in June (which we cant reveal just yet) so I'd say its pretty permanent for the time being. as with everything we do though it could quickly change either way
we are toying with the idea of a live encrypted show on there, and you may start seeing some trials very soon
Probably toying with a price increase to cover the cost too!

I think this Freudian slip tells us all we need to know: "
bombarded". It shows that you're well aware of the nature of what you're doing and the impact it has on viewers. Why do you imagine that Freeviewers are any happier about being 'bombarded' than Sky viewers? The adverts spoken by the girls go out on Freeview as well as on Sky (provided they're not blasted out by the in-your-face video ones), so why are they not sufficient? How is it that you imagine that wrecking your customers' enjoyment of one of your services will somehow persuade them to buy another from you? Is that how you respond to annoying in-your-face sales techniques? If so, you're very unusual.
There would be nothing unusual about promoting a service on one platform that can only be received on another. When I watch mainstream Freeview commercial channels I see many adverts and trailers for shows and channels that can only be seen on Sky, so why not
vice versa?

Either this is untrue or the producers are
deliberately timing the girls' mic slots to coincide with the promos. It happens far too often and is far too precisely timed to be any kind of accident.
We'll see just what was taken on board in this meeting. If things do actually improve then all well and good. At some point even the girls themselves will be annoyed as I'm certain they record and watch back what they do, those without recorders will come to their respective forum threads to download the stuff put up by their fans. They want us to see them at their best and know that we enjoy their mic chat, so, if you think we're bad, try talking down someone like Lolly or Camilla!
I know not all of this is your fault Babestation, but you are our link to the company.
