I think there is a difference with the BS naked chat room, in that it is an adult service so can't be promoted during daytime tv, which is non-adult only.
There is of course a difference. The models of BS are free what they do and what they show. But the Eurobabes are not free...
They always under suspicion from Ely or anyone else. And i saw on Naked Chat adult action at ETV never.
But this is my opinion.
^^ Ok. I see.
I just thought there was 'grey' area in the regulations in respect of web promotion.
Concerning the rules for advertising websites on TV phone in babe channels (classed has Teleshopping by Ofcom), Ofcom rules state this "Ofcom licensed services that are broadcast without mandatory restricted access must not promote websites that contain material within the recognised character of pornography"
This rule applies for both day and night time broadcasts from what i can gather ..
(edit)
There is also this rule as well "Advertisements for products coming within the recognised character of pornography are permitted behind mandatory restricted access on adult entertainment channels only"

Surely they wouldn't pull the channel for lack of calls this soon? Starlets of Babebstation wasn't given long, but it had a few months at least.

Now there's a hot potato if I ever read one. I'm sure that Ofcom's interpretation of the 'P' word would be quite narrow.
You may care to read the attached 'rant' buried amongst the pages of the site's wall. The claim is that this is not an official comment (now where is that flying pig ?.)

The most interesting point here is the insistence that they CAN promote the website on Sky since the content is not R18. But think they have been severely mislead if they have entirely relied on the guidelines as posted and not also read, and understood, the rules as posted above. True that any rule is subject to interpretation but there is no advocate here. The judge and jury is Ofcom.
Of course their continued absence could be due to something entirely different.
Well unless the two parties concerned are trying to hammer out an agreement which will save the channel, I'd say it's fair to assume that it's bit the dust. Farewell Euro Babes!

well reading their post, there is logic in what they say. they haven't shown any R18 stuff, yet
and as for their general viewpoint about everyone wanting freebies, and moaning if they have to pay. Gotta say, I've seen a few of the comments, and a few posters and bloggers need to pipe down a bit or pay up. its cheap enough.
As always, there'll always be a few that just want to whinge and whine and criticise regardless of what happens.
I like the channel, and so far, I like their attitude.
@welshken
Do not be fooled by their hype. They have made such comments for years when they attempted to have a voice within that other forum.
One issue with the current PPV system is it is selective. Why run it on Friday and Saturday but not on Sunday ?.
Yes, 2 credits appears cheap but make that even 5 days a week, four weeks a month and it becomes a quite expensive membership system. And they know full well that their viewers will soon be hooked. Or they simply give up due to the cost. A more likely scenario.
And put a guy in front of a PC screen even for 2 credits a night and he is not gonna phone. In fact that same guy is likely to complain if there is no special content that he expected for his entrance fee.
There is another angle. Consider that caller who has no PC access or as with many it is in another room to the tv. He is on the phone to a model who suddenly, without due warning, goes from his view. He is not gonna stay on the phone so they have lost that call. I still think that call revenue is the prime source to pay the bills but the more content you take away from the caller the less you make. But let them find that out the hard way.
