Special thanks to Shandyhand for his reply to post 2868.
I wouldn't want to private message in this case as that's less of a forum. Several of us have thanked, it wasn't just me.
Sad to think that S66 doesn't hold meetings or advise the (novice) presenter.
I have scanned through the Broadcast and On Demand Bulletins on the regulator's website and see no results of investigations concerning this broadcaster for the last year or so. However I have read in this forum's Broadcasting Regulations thread of a complaint relating to November the 27th 2018 (a Tuesday). I would be grateful if you would be able to suggest any other threads or website/forums where the reader could read about the other complaints you refer to. I find the thought of S66 and especially a favoured presenter being told off, even fined whilst I was enjoying myself awful. Given future action I would understand S66's caution, GalleryS66 remarked once before: 'Ofcom are very real,as are their fines'.
It appears that web only hasn't taken over as 'the standard' that I thought it might have done in my enthusiasm last Saturday week.

Yes i spoke to Sophie, the idea of the web show extended cam is to allow the girls to wear a lot less, move lots more, do erotic poses etc plus hopefully entice the caller into 1-2-1 or perv cam (double cost with call and cam as previously girls would rarely have the phone backstage just cam) or just get them on cam
I said about people watching for nothing etc and she said she would make sure that only i saw the naughty bits ....others would hopefully be enticed in too but what was obviously going on, it was all about getting the angles and positions right.
Its a growing concept personally i think we will see more 66 move over this way and the TV will decline / disappear.
^ so the traditional caller gets no benefit nor tippers who prefer main feed presentation with the whole face and body in shot with erotic poses and content?
Not everyone gets off on disembodied perineums!

I appreciate yours and others thanks. I suggested pm-ing only because this level of detail does not always go down well with some on here. Also any answers to the questions you ask are bound to involve some little speculation and a degree of educated guess work. Some would argue that is not best to be placed in the public arena. However, I've tried to include things in my replies only if I have fair reason to believe it or am clearly labelling it as more speculative.
I recall one night babe arriving rushed on to set for her very first show (an unintended stream showing her) outfit in place and all, but only then, when she should by rights have already been live on TV, was she shown the rudiments of her pervcam and details of how to use it on her laptop screen! The lack of prep was palpable. Other new babes are clearly unaware of rules until they fall foul of them. For instance: A recent inductee had to have her audio cut when almost straight away she started talking of her pervcam being on and ready for action! Cue a mouthed "oh sorry" when she was told she shouldn't be refering to it directly on mic. 66 often gives off this sort of ad hoc impression with how babes present themselves early on.
AFAIK, Ofcom inform the operators of details of any show being complained about pretty soon after getting the complaint. The regulator then assess the complaint and decides if it warrents further investigation. They may request video of the babes transmissions from the operator, etc. All this may lead to sanction (often a fine). I explain this process because I feel many guys don't think of the impact even that intial assessment notification can have on the babe involved or, particularly if there's been a build up of complaints over a short period of time, on the operation as a whole. I've said before that Ofcom haven't fined a babeshow for years; that's true and speaks to a certain tolerance these days. BUT, even so, when multiple notifications come in over a relatively short period there must be some trepidation and fear of being overseen that has to eventually instill itself. There must be a cumulative worry to each period of uncertainy before the babe or babes is cleared. Presumably word comes down from the top once there's a feeling the company is being targeted that the producers should pull the babes back somewhat until they can stave off what is happening. This is what's happened recently at 66 days I think.
Here's the specifics of the published issues as you asked for them: Dave_A pulled out the major complaint you mentioned
here. That one got to the investigation stage. He then noted a second one
here. The third I don't think anyone reported on the forum but can be found
here. The last two were complaints about daytime babes and were assessed but found not worthy of investigation. As I say even that sort of judgement is not to be underestimated in how it can impact things onscreen I feel.
Maintaining a healthy TV presence looks to be nigh on essential for this size of operator. And more specifically, there, presumably, isn't the capacity in the web only audience as yet that there is in the TV one. How many of these shows could be sustained at once do you think..? Give it time mate tho, give it time.
Cheers Shandy,
None of those dates is a Wednesday or Saturday so that's something.
I think you've painted the picture pretty well, Ofcom v S66 is like a spider and a fly. The logo screen and muted use of web only seems totally understandable with three of them nagging away.
Funny that they haven't fined them, they don't have to.
Whatever I wouldn't want there to be no Ofcom. The bulletins describe their involvement in some worthy cases and a caged tiger is a more dangerous animal.
Rebecca Kelly's first web show is amazing already done amazing naughty outfit and getting into it, this could be out of this world stunning rebecca
No Violet or Gigi it seems. Millie has been on for an hour and she was meant to start at 2pm so it's obvious she's been called in early to cover. Shame as Gigi was doing web-only apparently!
I see s66 have Mikki B down as backstage on the TV. Surely they mean Millie M! Don’t they know the names of the presenters! Of course the producers could be watching Corrie or the like.
Sometimes when it says backstage the girls are not actually at the Studio it is one of them doing it from home and they are being promoted on the TV.
TV output is the absolute pits nowadays. It's either one girl on three channels or like now none whatsoever.
