^ From the little I have seen of FV674 this week, they seem to be choosing an odd way to go about it : although the previous 30 minute free-to-air transmission from 23:00-23:30 on FV674 usually did not directly feature the performer in the upcoming BSX liveshow but just simulcast one of the other regular BS nightshow channels for 25 minutes or so they usually at least advertised who was going to be on the show via the little box in the top right hand corner while the usual suspect of Alice/Ashley/Olivia/Young twin did her regular stuff.
(This was during the week at least; at weekends throughout last year sometimes, but not always, the free-to-air half hour would feature advance previews of the BSX liveshow, where for example, the BSX performer(s) would appear free-to-air gyrating around - usually clothed - for 5 or 10 minutes from around 23:15/23:20 and exhorting viewers on the microphone every few seconds to press the red button to see more) .
From what I have seen this week, FV674 now longer even does this, but just shows a short repeating loop / generic clip-showreel of old BSX shows that only lasts about 15 minutes, along with captions like "Hardest show on Freeview" and "Our liveshows are legendary" ( Legendary good or legendary bad ? ) and without giving any indication whatsover of the performer(s) actually scheduled for that particular evening : how is this going to persuade casual pay-for-one-night viewers to sign up to a show when they don't even know who's going to be on it ? Or what time it starts.
