Xpanded tv - General Chat & Discussion

I wouldn't be surprised if they put the call prices up .

which, despite the quality of the girls, would no doubt see a fall in the number of callers - as the connection sms is probably now bringing about as well. Given the state of the finances you outlined earlier i wonder what would happen if some of the other channels decided to drop their prices at the same time.

^ I've just been reading that Sky have been encouraging operators to find their own trades for epg slots (through third party companies that arrange things) since 2007/8.

From section 4 of the Sky pdf attached it can be seen that not only would a transfer within a genre/section of the epg (once finalised between operators) likely happen quicker than one that required a switch in sections but transferring sections effectively puts the incoming operator at the bottom of the pile (the far end) of the epg listings for that section!

So, any slots up for transfer would therefore have an additional desirability factor to those wishing to broadcast in the "transferor's" section because they retain the original position in the listings. (Unless of course they are already at the end of that section!)

Presumably, the price for the trade varies depending on which section the transferee wants to end up in too?

But yes, they can end up anywhere!

Just noticed that they have said on their forum that they have actually bought the channels from Playboy and licensed the brand .
So it looks like they have bought both the 902 and 930 channel slots, (that's if they are telling the truth)

Interesting to see how the channels will be branded. I'm expecting playboy for all 4 channels they now have (if true) 902, 930, 931 & 943

Also as I've said in the rlc section, wonder if it will spark a babeshow merry go round

I wouldn't assume they will keep all 4 channels

If they think it's viable to run all 4 channels then they will. Have to see what happens. Think they will use at least 1 of the playboy channels

^ Obviously all the Playboy stuff as they've just paid for them

Retention of girls is not a strong part of xpandeds operations (they virtually admitted the same on their own forum) so it does seem inevitable that there will be a lot of going unless of course they are weighed down by the number of pairs of knickers they will now have to wear or lose the use of their legs because they've been still so long.

Looks like my reliable source of information in May was correct that Xpanded TV were taking over both 902 & 930 channels from RLC

looks like no connection charges ever has become 1.50 connection charge.
