It is, whilst it also shows the desperate levels channels will go to in order to try and hurt one of their rivals. Such a desperate situation, 'cause instead of being part of the solution the babe channels are clearly nothing more than a major part of the problem, and happily continue on the same path.

not shocking for me, most of the babechannel complaints come from other babechannels. if they stopped complaining about each other and combined forces, they could probably get the rules changed for the better

bangbabes though brought about their own demise constantly ignore ofcom warnings etc so wasnt a surprise that they got their licences revoked

Well it's shocked me , yes it's been generally assumed that some complaints come from rival channels, but i always thought it was just a channel boss or employee pretending to be a outraged member of the public and making a occasion complaints, i never imagined a fellow babe channel operator would go to such lengths or sink so low as to have your staff record numerous hours and over several weeks the Bangbabes shows in order to provide Ofcom with evidence of wrongdoings, this low life channel even offered to send DVD's they had recorded to Ofcom by courier of Bangbabes breaking the rules, did this Ofcom nark channel by Licking Ofcom's ass think they would get in Ofcom's good books by turning informer ? .

I don't know which channel it is that went to these lengths to provide Ofcom with this evidence but i wonder if Bangbabes did know, i don't think any of the channels can be ruled out as the super grass, but i tend to rule out SEL , SEL were in the shit themselves around that time and couldn't provide Ofcom with recordings of their own channels, so i can't see SEL telling Ofcom we can't record our own channels but have recorded Bangbabes instead . RLC/Playboy can be ruled out as well because RLC used to be part owned by Bangbabes and Banbabes used to lease a channel from Playboy , so what channel is the super grass rat that helped cause the demise of Bangbabes ? .

Talking about Bangbabes breaking the rules, most of the channels were also breaking some rules at that time, probably not quite so blatant has Bangbabes but they were still doing it, with pussy flashes and see through knickers being worn by some girls , but maybe this low life Ofcom ass lick channel wasn't sending the recordings of other channels to Ofcom so they fell under Ofcom's radar .

It should be easy to deduce which channel it is if the business's post code (or that of their stooges) is detailed in the complaint. I couldn't read much of the complaint list as I was getting too angry!

Chilly flagged up a post yesterday from a channel owner (posted last year) and suggested he was the one. I agree, in fact I'd put money on it.

The use of language is the same in the post as in the complaint to Ofcom. Furthermore, it's known that there was no love lost between BangBabes and the person in question. This person also used to run BangBabes.

The 2 month delay is really odd. What triggered the complainant to write in after 2 months? Were they holding it in reserve?

It was almost at the limit for retention of recordings.

If they didn't feel compelled to report the channel the following day, or even within the same week, then really how offended were they?

Now i dare say someone far knowledgeable will no but i have a few questions that i would like to ask.

1. If the main tv broadcasters want to do away with the 9pm watershed, does anyone have an idea how long this would take to implement?

2.How many countries still have a watershed? or is the UK one of the last remaining countries with a watershed?

Thanks guys

If it was down to Ofcom it would take them 3-6 months to discuss the matter internally, draft a consultation and get it signed off by the Ofcom board, plus any time for discreet cosultations with main broadcasters. They would also have to coordinate with the advertising bodies and possibly ICTIS (premium rate phone regulator). They would then publish a consultation - I think they typically allow 3 months for replies. Depending on the number of responses they could take a further 3 months to digest the response. If the consultation went their way they would then publish their findings and new rules typically take immediate effect.

Say 6-9 months.

If instead Parliament decided to legislate, no idea but at a guess the DCMS would have to draft a law, it would usually be announced as an aspiration for the next session of Parliament, then would have to go through debates in both houses. Watch out of career sharks tabling amendments to please the gutter press. Laws dont usually take immediate effect, it is considered polite to give several months warning. Ofcom would then need to update the Broadcasting Code, but might be able to shortcut the procedure. Say 1 year minumum.

Dont know about the watershed in other countries, but I suspect most have controls on free to air channels until the evening. (Except the French who have a slightly different attitude to nudity, as well as pissing in the street). Might be different for encrypted channels.

Things take way too much time in general
