Just an excuse. Plenty of people have pointed out that they're currently not even operating close to what OFCOM will allow, you may even have said so yourself!
if rammy didn't live so far away from me i'd pop round to his place to give him my fanboy of the year award, im sure there was a mistake last week and he was supposed to win it
Just been poking around some of the other channels for a while.
Dear god is the camera work on the Studio 66 channels always so jittery?? Felt almost seasick after a couple of minutes, swaying all over the place.
awful to watch.

IM NOT MAKING EXCUSES!!!!!!!! I was just saying the only way the channels (not just s66!!!!!!!) will get back to how they were is if Ofcom relax the rules and not if people stop calling the babeshows
To be fair I had heard Cara B say she was given the silly money (the amount she had asked for) to do her tease/nights. I thought she may have been an exception. (She only does about one a month note.)
Sooky also makes a good point that it is a mistake to assume total competence on behalf of the channel bosses all the time.
If the majority of daysgirls now currently staying on later in the evenings are on way more money than the established night girls (though I assume they didn't actually say that but that's what's implied I suppose if the comments are general) then the policy does have the faint whiff of desperation about it.
But this is not exactly a brand new idea for s66 is it. They have increased the practice over several months now. I can't believe they would be persevering with this if it wasn't at least keeping them on an even keel.
If it is there only option to avoid dead air and fill the slots then they really are up a certain creek if this doesn't work for them. Big gamble going on for them if what we are getting at here is correct.
The other question is why s66 in particular seem so consistently timid in pushing what's allowed on TV? Again, are things so precarious for them that one more fine could put them in financial trouble perhaps?
It is definitely more than Ofcom that has to change if the channels (particularly s66) are to return to anything approaching their heydey Rammy.
Clungey - gotta agree with you, a pack of Kwells and rose-tinted specs are required to watch S66 these days. A tragic decline of a once great station.

Disagree. I think if ofcom did relax the rules that the babeshows (including s66) have to operate under, the babeshows would push things and return to how they were during their heyday, or get close to it. If a babeshow didn't, they would lose calls etc to other channels

Yes that is the usual and seemingly fine argument. That they all have to broadcast at the same level to compete.
Then why have s66 consistently been self-censoring themselves
more than any other babe channel for getting on for a year now?
Yet they seem to think that they are competing just fine.

Because they are the subject of more complaints to Ofcom than any other babe channel.
