Give me a prediction in days/weeks as to when BS will revert to normal service?

Try tonight arron, no nakedness yet but no doubt it'll be on the cards, let's just try and be clear here for one minute, Cellcast have as such had no restrictions put on them yet and I doubt they will, Ofcom I firmly believe will not get their wicked way as far as this episode is concerned Cool

it's hard to say how accurate this is because on the one hand, BS is a lot tamer than it used to be, but on the other hand, Ofcom says it has no control Huh

are BS censoring themselves?

PS. what happened to the Petition thread?

I don't think BS will recover from this

Don't forget mate, that it's only the freeview pre 12am channels that this concerns , all the Sky channels will be as they are , 2 Sky channels have Ofcom licence's in any case , freeview channels 94 and 95 already start at 12am and also have a Ofcom licence , Freeview channel 96 starts at 11pm and can even with Ofcom rules be used to advertise the adult verified encryption show that starts at 11.30 because children cannot access the encrypted channel , you have to be adult verified , the only BS channel that would be effected is the start time of BS Xtra on freeview , which would probably have to start at 12am instead of 10pm . So all sky channels will be unaffected and 3 freeview channels will be unaffected because they either go encrypted or already have a Ofcom regulated licence .

[edit] cmiller ^^, Ofcom are saying they have no control of what is shown on freeview before 12am , because the BS channels that start before 12am have a Dutch licence , so they are powerless to stop them , Ofcom licensed babe channels can't start before 12 am , this Ofcom complaint to NICAM as far as i can gather is about the content shown on freeview before 12am and doesn't concern Sky channels or freeview channels after 12am whether they have a Dutch licence or not .

Life is short . Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile .

Ah well looks like I was correct, damn should have put a wager on it. So there you go, full normality resumed as predicted by me tonight Big Grin

Now then back to Sexysat TV the same censor that Ofcom is trying to get to tame down Babestation - Fat Chance of that happening Big Laugh

Enjoy Big Grin http://81.89.54.147/freesexysat.html

RE: Ofcom Complain To Dutch Regulator
I don't personally think that Ofcom complaining to Nicam will change anything. Nicam will tell Ofcom to mind their own business and to go stick their complaint up their arse, BS won't go bust but will most likely end up only having their encrypted channel. That's my view and as for Ofcom, they will eventually be pulled back into reality but the fta babechannels would of ceased to exist long before our government grows a pair and does something about Ofcom.

If you look at it from a half full glass point of view Ofcom could be the ones and not Babestation who are put firmly to the sword Cool
They will do as they are told (from the Dutch side). No fingers will be being stuck up to anybody.

Why do you think that? Do you have any inside info.?

I am not decrying your position, btw, as I am sure that the UK authorities are on crusade to get sex off the tele. Ofcon will be backed by certain politicians putting pressure on their Dutch counterparts.

Hope they are told to fuck off (in Dutch, of course).

They're unable to ban the channels due to the Dutch licences but they're putting pressure on the Dutch regulator to do something.
