As for no energy, GGTV has no producer so I can't do a lot in the tiny set I have with the tiny furniture they put in the set and remaining in shot without being behind the graphics, which I have no idea where they are because I can't see the output.
GGTV demanded that I did dom on my last show and wanted again for the next show, but don't worry, I wont be doing dom or any other theme with them again at GGTV because I hate the travel to London. For now, I am going to put down the phone and mic and concentrate on my other projects and music. I need to have a producer as I used to move around all the time and I hate being made to feel static. I also hate being told not to do things that I KNOW are OFCOM safe as I used to be a producer and know all about compliance. The new studio had so much potential but they seem to have no idea what to do with it, and I can't work in the depth-less sets provided.
Obviously these 2 girls were talking about working on GG, but like admin as stated GG is fully a STD 66 channel and production ..
Other former STD 66 girls have mentioned recently on twitter that it's more of a relaxed working atmosphere on BS than their previous channels .
So i think it's safe to say that STD 66 don't have enough producers to put on good shows on all their channels, and are running shit scared of Ofcom, and with good reason .
Without actually checking, STD 66 produced shows have probably in the last few years had more in breach rulings against them than the other channels put together (don't quote me on that),
With their bad compliance record any more in breach rulings could result in a big fine for STD 66.
If admiral decker's description of STD 66 being likened to a corner shop with falling revenue, (or something like that) then a big fine could be the end of them .
Now then on to the in breach rulings, some of these have come about through plain incompetence and stupidity on STD 66's part .
Some have come about through routine monitoring by Ofcom and not all through complaints by the general public or a rival channel (Ofcom have said this themselves)
The last in breach ruling they got the other week came about through incompetence, they were found in breach for not being able to supply recordings of their programs to Ofcom, they said someone forgot to connect up the recording equipment when they moved studios lol .
Another incompetent thing they did was to broadcast a live girl topless just after 9pm, they know this is against the rules, they then panicked switched from the live feed to a recording, the recording was also of topless girls lol , Ofcom found them in breach . STD 66 put it down to human error i believe .
On another occasion they were found in breach for broadcasting topless girls for a short time after 5.30am, apparently STD 66 said the producer had gone home early and no one noticed the time, or words to that effect .
Then there was the in breach ruling for advertising on screen links to their own website containing R18 material
Then there was the most stupid thing they did, they advertised mobile phone downloads on tv,that led to R18 material, Ofcom noticed this and downloaded one for themselves, they informed STD 66 not do do this, Ofcom checked to see if STD 66 had stopped sending these downloads and found STD 66 had failed to stop advertising on TV and sending people links to R18 content, Ofcom enquired why they hadn't stoped this practice, STD 66 said they hadn't had time to stop promoting and sending R18 downloads to peoples phones,or something like that, they got found in breach .
After this in breach ruling Ofcom monitored this situation, they once again downloaded a pic/vid advertised on screen by STD 66, once again they were presented with pic/links to R18 material, STD 66 were found in breach again, STD 66 put it down to human error i believe .
If they had competent staff they could have avoided many in breach rulings .
To me it looks like from what the GG girls say and through what STD 66 tell ofcom concerning human error that don't have enough crew or competent crew behind the scenes, this had led to them being the orchestra of some of their Ofcom problems .
Im guessing the lack of crew and competent crew is probably down to staff cutting costs ? .
PS, the Ofcom in breach are from memory, i haven't recently checked them, but they do represent the general jist of the rulings .
