I'm left a little bemused on this channel. Trying to think why S66 are renting out studio space to this new group. Couple of thoughts:
1) They seem to be positioned to compete with Storm and XXpanded (i.e. lots of girls and cheap calls). They will have to go some as both the other channels are cheaper and, and I know this down to personal taste, the girls are better on the other channels.
2) Can't figure the finances on this; S66 must be renting channel and studio space yet the girls are working on very low call margins at the rate they charge. On the basis that S66 rent out at a reasonable level considering they've lost the revenue of the additional channel, then the new channel must be on shit margin. They are going to have to go some to make any money
3) If they are using this channel simply as a leg up to the webshow how do they know it will have any bearing. Again the girls are fairly run of the mill compared to what you can get on the rest of that damned interweb(!) so if they are expecting to charge a premium because of their TV presence again I'd be amazed if the numbers stack.
Just feels like another knee jerk by S66; they've got themselves a channel, they don't feel like they make money by doing 3 channels themselves so are looking for something different.
I suspect we will see a few months of running before a financial meltdown by the team running the channel and S66 searching for another idea for it.
