I'm sure they don't intend to continue permanently as a web channel. I'm with ShandyHand on this - I'm not sure it's possible to have success with babe show content levels via web only. I'd say that Red Light are most likely in the process of trying to find new slots on Sky and are therefore hoping to be web only for only a short period of time.

Her post probably bring up more questions than answers

This has the potential to go one of two ways: down the drain really, REALLY fast... or break new ground and cannibalise market share from babe channels and cam sites alike by offering something *different*.

Red Light doesn't strike me as in industry 'disruptor' so I'm betting it's the former. I'd happily lose that bet though.

The Redlight website may still be selling 6-month subscriptions, but I don't think that is a guaranteed sign that they will continue with an actual live babe-show, as the payment is to access the members-only content of pics & vids, and they will still be there. It is quite possible that there is a stock of new updates waiting to be put up too.
The webstream of the show is free to anyone, so is not part of the subscription, and if it stopped, they would still be providing what was paid for.
If they do continue to transmit live phone-in shows, then they will need to get rid of the irritating time-out on the webstream for non-members, or prospective customers won't bear with it for long.

They are far too safe for their own good and have been left behind by BS and S66 in not following and developing web shows like Naughty Chat and S66 webcam shows which are out of reach of Ofcom and would have boosted their income.

Not in my opinion. I only joined to get a proper stream, so if that isn't available then I'm paying a subscription for nothing.

The site clearly states that members get live streams, so if they were to stop that they wouldn't be providing what was paid for.

This appears to be a guaranteed sign - tweeted an hour ago.

Hmmm. How come the viewers always prove a better judge of that than those penning the copy!

it will bomb... babeworld, chatgirltv ... it has been tried and never worked. As soon as they started losing channels the writing was on the wall. Followed by the purging of their rota of nearly all of their most popular babes. Sad but there we go... babeshows die, new ones come a long.

Yes it's stretching credibility that all the while this channel has behind the scenes been working on this massive turnaround project that will be the 'new thing'. But, stranger things have happened.

Can't actually think of one on the spot right now... but I so want to believe!

I doubt if going web only is meant to be a turnaround project. As admiral decker said it may be just a stopgap until they can get new TV slots.
