She needs to join BS she is epic , she would of been naked every single stint on S66 if she was allowed to but of course S66 become very tame.

Can you imagine her and her parents' pride?

^ in years to come I’m sure “who was the last person to appear on Studio 66 TV” will pop up as a question in the General Knowledge round on Mastermind.

It’s a truly momentous occasion

There was a tweet by S66 which bears this out. When they announced the closure of the studio they followed it up with another tweet which referred to lack of demand by creators for studio access.

Have you guys ever noticed the complete lack of anything self-critical in such notices? I know it's something you're supposed to avoid in business. But, over time, when so many things happen that destabilise an operator's output, some hint of humility or occassional culpability might not go amiss. (Babes not wanting to go into the 66 studio by the end was precipitated by a long and tangled history. See my last post on this thread.)

Instead, it's ALWAYS someone else's - something EXTERNAL'S - fault. Freeloaders, uploaders, trolls, energy crisis, the demand for TV, rents? Worse, saying these things often implies it's the userbase's fault. Or at least a problem with some guys the paying users have more akin with than with people within the industry... (Whilst, of course, still retaining the necessary deniability of "...didn't mean YOU baby!" for those crucial transaction baiting moments. )

Not once do they admit to doing anything that has expedited the pull of these outside factors. Not once do they admit to compounding a situation, or show they even question WHY things like demand for TV fell off a cliff so badly that they felt they could pull whole sections of programming and look to just simply carry on hitting the spot with already reeling customer base. No, let's try to convince everyone everything would have been honky dory but for those pesky foreign pipelines and gas prices! Let's pretend more than half a year of a disfunctional website is perfectly normal and nothing to do with anything. Let's pretend switching to excluding any number of old punters with arbitrary spending requirements was no part of any lack of vibe around the place.

We hear no hint that anyone considers this just might have anything to do with the fact they have been consistently undermining TV and studio output in favour of their chase for shiny new $ elsewhere for years now. (Not just looking for additional money note but actively taking away elements that made the older stuff work in the name of boosting the new. Every. Single. Time.) That they consistently played an active part in devaluing what they were already giving existing customers in the name of putting their content, attentiveness and effort elsewhere? Could general interest be down because the industry has, again for years, and consistently, placed self care over and above the needs of its end users? Ease of babe use over the granting of optimal customer experiences? (66's new site claimed to be all about the customer but I'd ask those still using it to name one way it has really enhanced their experiences. Then I'd ask the same guys to think of ways in which they know it has improved things for the babes? See what I mean...)

Even the latest Ofcom fine was the other side of that same poor customer care coin, reflecting as it did a totally unheeded bugbear of chatters and posters for many years: The relevant producers missed what multiple Ofcom troubling naughties were being said on the daytime mic for the same cba reason they used to miss the fact the babe was mouthing words guys couldn't here - time after time after time! How can you hope to spot when a babe is saying the wrong thing when you've consistently proven you don't care if she's being heard saying the right stuff even?!!! (The outcome is the same, whether it was always case of cba or was sometimes a matter of them being under-resourced. It likely edged more to the latter in recent times granted.)

Truth is, this industry will never stop chasing its tail, never stop debilitating what it has while trying to maximise the return from the latest shiny gimmick, until it realises that the only true success lies in consistently fulfilling a properly varied multitude of guys' desires in a truly empathetic experience enhancing way. Not just constantly looking to pluck the easiest lowest hanging fruit. Even if that means - shock , horror - making their lives slightly less convenient from time to time in order to do it. Stopping despising its customers would help too.

Truth is, once 66 went down to one TV Channel they were inevitably done on the box. But hey let's just say we haven't propelled ourselves in this same direction over the last 5 years (at least).

When I was channel hopping last night, Nikita Reign was on one BS channel and Brooksie Brooks was on the other, with Kendall Kay doing a lil solo stint on Xpanded (Ashton on break).

If ever that was proof that S66 had no problem in terms of talent. It was the piss poor way they were managed.

I can imagine Arura telling all the babes i was the last one on S66 in a WWE style segment way , the babes would wonder what is going on.

Not everyone has a smart tv, also I will refuse to “loose” my card details to these web miners

Where will Jada be seen as she was only on Sky Studio 66 after being removed from the Freeview platform
