Indeed. It's been removed from the Sky EPG.

They are only using 923 924 and the freeview channel.

Wonder how long it will before they drop the freeview channel?

I would have thought that that channel is precious to them.
I'd very much like for them to increase their broadcast on it, why can't they start at 22.00 like BS and why can't they broadcast all day long, what's the difference between Sky and Freeview.

The Difference between Sky and freeview is Ofcom rules, Ofcom don't allow adult chat phone in babes channels to broadcast before 12 midnight on freeview.

They could, provided they could purchase more freeview daytime air time, broadcast non adult content day shows during the day .


{edit}
BS start at 10pm on freeview because they have a Dutch licence, not a Ofcom licence.
The Dutch don't have the same restrictions as Ofcom, concerning the start time of babe channels broadcasting on freeview, hence why BS starts at 10pm .

They timeshare with ITV on Freeview, so they can only broadcast on the hours that ITV make available.

What would it take to change that situation Dave?
Government legislation or OFCOM relaxing rules?

The Dutch have sensible regulation that treats adults as responsible for their own actions. Our authorities think they know what's best for everyone and infantilise joe public with an utterly contemptible Victorian moralising attitude... But then we do keep voting people that express such views into positions of power. It would seem we want others rights taken away and it's much too easy to say "yes... it'll never get to the level where it affects me."

Poor old S66, BS broadcast to the same nation with (sometimes) the same girls doing much the same thing but their licence is something to do with a completely different country so they are allowed to do things the home grown variety can't and the regulator, of which we have heard so much says that that's not our problem because_________________________________________________________​_______________________________*
A very British thing, supporting the underdog.

Agree Shandy. Labour created Ofcom in 2002, at the height of the Blair Terror.

The creation of Ofcom was merely a merger of several already existing bodies and it didn't create broadcasting standards or the Broadcasting Standards Code.

The Broadcasting Standards Code was originally drawn up in 1988 by the Broadcasting Standards Council, later becoming the the Broadcasting Standards Commission, which was one of the regulatory bodies merged into Ofcom.
