If there's a revshare agreement, meaning Cellcast are giving ETV a share of the call revenue on Sky 945, then in effect Cellcast are paying for the Euro Babes feed. Whether they pay a flat sum or through a revshare they would be paying either way.
If Bs were getting a share of the call revenue, you would have thought they'd be promoting it more.
Their twitter dropped it like a hot potato the minute the flak started to fly.

agree bs were heavilty promoting eurobabes then all of a sudden they suddenly stopped promoting it and instead heavily plugged the bs oskars
Well BS must be getting something out of it. After all who provides/is responsible for the phone number ?. And do check out the small print that scrolls at the bottom of the screen.
But a % of zero is still zero on my trusty calculator.
bs pulled starlets because it was not getting them the amount of money they felt a babe channel should even though it was a the wrong end of the EPG so would never make as much as the other bs channels,
so i would think that ETV are paying bs a flat fee to use the channel, the fee would have to be what bs think the channel is worth and not what it made or there was no point in getting rid of starlets, that's why i think it would be a flat fee on not a % of calls as bs know what the calls make on 945 and wanted more,
if this is the case then it will be very hard of ETV to make money from the channel but that would back up what some have said about the channel being a loss leader to bring more people from a new country on to there website,
(10-02-2015 12:10 )301 Wrote: [ -> ]But agreements do vary alot for example for mainstream TV, in the UK the channel operators (like ITV) have to pay the platform owners like Sky to have a slot on their EPG.
However In the US it is the other way round where companies like DirectTV and Dish pay broadcasters like FOX, CBS and NBC.
Its pretty much the same here, SKY buy up the likes of Comedy Central, SKY 1, Sky Sports, the movie channels and so on. Genres such as Gaming, Religious, Adult and teleshopping are not part of the SKY Franchise, they have no obligation to them whatsoever, SKY have no responsibility over what they broadcast and SKY also offer them no protection.
These channels pay SKY rent money for a space on the EPG which is what makes it complicated, Cellcast rent 945 from SKY and then subrent this to ETV. It's also worth noting that since ETV have started broadcasting the BS shows have been toned down themselves as another poster pointed out on the BS Thread this is because ofcom will be monitoring the output of Cellcast more heavily than normal.
Like I said in my last post I think ETV have only got this arrangement in temporary until they have managed to build up a customer base from the UK with the next stage to then own the channel 945, thus severing all ties will Cellcast and try to sell this as a stand alone channel to us SKY viewers and possibly even to their European customers aswell. Watch this space as that's my prediction for the long term.
Damn it.
ETV have signed up Lori Buckby
Eurobabes has 6 girls on tonight.
3 fully clothed babes on one side of the studio and another 3 at the opposite side wearing not a lot.
Obviously the Sky show is the 3 fully clothed girls on the right.
So it could be a technical problem on Sky tonight. But who knows it could it could also be the end as we know it.
Just a quick Q.
The new service had a website. I can not quite remember the url and all the permutations I tried earlier produced no results.
Anyone ?

Another throw back to the dildo shows that broadcast both on Eurotic and INXTC. Only one showed the view below the waste. Yet all the callers had the view above the waste. Now the reverse is true. I just do not see the channel attracting a paying audience on Sky. And a split just encourages the Sky free-loader to watch the webstream.
That's just... the most inappropriate comparison [splutter]
I agree with the rest though.
(some INXTC, for readers who missed it)

... Ah, forget it, I can't fake shock as badly as her. It would be quite amusing if they did sign her, I suppose...
how come no ones mentioned they arent even broadcasting tonight? have they pulled it already?
