would you be willing to share the content of these emails and in paticular their replies that you have received?

a war is between 2 or more sides m8 , not one of the channels is fighting their corner,never have,never will i commend you on your quest against ofcom but think the channels themselves have dug their own grave by not standing up to them

This is my view exactly so im curious what battle line has been drawn in the "war" by Scottishbloke and how they have countered so far

Ofcom have been downright bastards for years with regard's to this entertainment, good channels that have suffered at their hands include

Babestar TV - Licence Revoked - January 2007
Bangbabes - Licence Revoked - January 2011
Sportxxx and Babeworld TV - ceased to exist - Mid 2011

(Please note that the above are rough estimated guess's)

The latest casualty to suffer at the hands of ofcom appears to have been BabestationX. The last ever encrypted live show where you could actually see material which was more fitting to a +18 audience.

SportXXX - Live BG banned - 2007/2008
"SEL voluntarily ceased to air, for the time being, any content comprising simulated sexual activity between a man and a woman"
Killed the live sex show.

Ofcom's latest broadcasting bulletin came out today issue number 235 and dated 05/08/2013 .

Quite a lot of babe channel beaches and investigations are mentioned in the bulletin .
As mentioned previously by Digital Dave in this thread Satellite Entertainment Limited have been found in breach and given a £40,000 fine for advertising websites that give links to R18 material , this ruling and fine is mentioned in this latest bulletin .

Studio 66 have been found in breach on 4 seperate occasions, info posted by Digital Dave in the Studio 66 thread , see post below .

Despite the number of breaches it seems that they've avoided a fine by the skin of their teeth, but the company has been summoned to a meeting at Ofcom Towers to discuss compliance procedures.

On the subject of why S66 start their adult programming at 9.30pm, one paragraph in the bulletin clears this up. As one of the breaches concerned a model showing too much at 9.04pm, and as this type of thing has happened before at S66, Jamie undertook to start adult chat at 9.30pm to allow a buffer period.

The Licensee did add that in light of this content, and “having experienced issues in the past with the transition from pre- to post-watershed we have now decided to revise our internal guidelines in these matters”.

Specifically, 965 TV said that it would be “shifting the end and start time of our day-time and night-time shows by 30 minutes. This will mean the Non-Adult day-time show will finish at 21:30 with the
Adult Night-time show starting at 21:30”. In addition, it said that it would “continue to work on making sure that the transition” between daytime and night time content would be “as smooth as possible and that the graduation in the level of the content is done over an extended period”.

On top of those in breach findings against Studio 66 and SEL Ofcom mention in the bulletin that they have launched new investigations into something broadcast on Playboy TV Chat on the 28/05/2013 and ChatGirl TV 2 on the 04/06/2013 . Ofcom seem to be cracking down on the babe channels once more .

Thanks mr mystery.

It does make me wonder why people want to work in this field, it must be a nightmare! I'm sure the glory days of the babe channels being a money tree are long gone.

Offcom do seem to like the word Buttocks

i don't understand what ofcom think people are going to see on a ADULT channel maybe some tits arse the odd chocolate star fish maybe even the rarist of them all a 1 second pussy slip but no ofcom think an ADULT channel is going to be showing rainbows and flowers and puppies and kittens for all those sensitive dispositions of people who watch ADULT content it is some little bible bashing feminist dick with a clip board at 9:04 "oh no thats abit of nipple on this adult channel i didn't expect to see this on this ADULT channel let me get me typewriter to complain" class A1 dick ... sorry about my rant.

The shows are generally shite, but what's the betting that the tit-for-tat war between the channels is continuing to put them under Ofcom's spotlight? I don't think they'll ever see the bigger picture until it's too late.

Please note that this is a comment which I seen posted on the Studio66 general discussion thread, I used it on this thread here to underline exactly where the problems start which is proved to be case by this find by Digital Dave which was also posted on the Studio66 thread.

My take on all of this is that Nightshows should start at 9PM. By that I mean they should start proper. I am somewhat confused as to how Studio66 claim to have moved their nightshow to a new start time of 2130.

Firstly the girls aren't even allowed to get their tit's out until after 10PM so just how the fuck can you justify anything as a nightshow when nothing is on show

I'm not suggesting that the channels turn around to ofcom and tell them to go and fuck themselves but at least give the bastards some kind of counter argument to their ridiculous rules.

It seems to be that when ofcom summon the channels up to HQ for a meeting it's exactly the same feeling for them as it was when you were at school and you got summoned to the headmasters office and you knew you were in trouble.

Are ofcom really that intimating that they leave channels execs physically shaking at their mere presence. All this Yes Sir, Sorry Sir bullshit talk just shows to me just what a bunch of gutless cowards the lot of them are.
