Xpanded tv - General Chat & Discussion

What are the key differences between the two??

^often wondered the same myself not sure if sospoilt is just exclusive to xpandedtv or not,but i'm sure somebody in the know will let us know after all for me they are both the same thing in regards to paying for goodies off your favourite babes

Xpanded are very oldschool and protective over their babes I feel. They do little to push their stardom, never tagging their instagram in posts etc.. because they know that will lead them to jump ship to BS if they become too big. XP have been able to keep their more popular babes by giving them guaranteed shifts every other day.

No daytime schedule, no web shows throughout the day to give time to girls on the fringe, no caps or videos. There is little room for much growth and I feel that is partly intentional, they know they can't beat BS at their own game so do things VERY differently.

^Never try never know?? Personally, I hope they don't try to out BS, BS!! The format at Xpanded works. It just seems that - unfortunately - it isn't a draw for more models to join, seemingly preferring the option of 'harder' off screen content. Quite disappointing really! The models they do have however, are of the highest calibre - particularly days as has been referred too many times before! If they could add to the night time numbers, then perfect!

^Totally agree! I’m old school and I miss Storm/Bangbabes/Bluebird etc. Xpanded takes me back to those days, especially with babes like Hazel and Michelle. I like the new girls they recruit. Roxyie was the best thing to come out of the babeshows last year IMO, just ahead of BS’s Scarlett Wild.
It’s true they can’t compete with Babestation, but they can be different and that’s part of their charm.
The only thing I don’t like is that their prices have gone up but I get it. Times are hard and it’s hard to run a business.

Great channel nonetheless

I can understand a time limit for re/editing a post, but not the same length for deleting one!
Hence, rather than deleting, and posting a separate, new version of the quoted post, I'm 'replying' to it..

Compare and contrast post 3799, with my post linked in the quoted post, alongside the few other posts' responding to post 3799, and declaring this thread "closed", as post 3800 would have it, is demonstrably premature.
As this is merely one strand of the discussion that was already well underway, when I joined the forum, in early 2020.
Namely, "the death and decline of the babeshows", which post 3802 is certain of, despite affirming post 3799, and only "glimpsing BS in the last year or two"!?
Raising the question: in those terms, is Xpanded the babeshows' undeath?!

I'm not going to repeat all that I've said about Xpanded in (hyper)linked posts, but suffice to say, I've described it as in some significant ways, the least worst channel, and yet, BS remains the channel and website to watch, for the most attractive and exciting women, with Xpanded moving out of third position, only by default, of 66's collapse.
Even one of the posts' agreeing with post 3799, concedes that the overall number of women appearing on tv, are thin on the ground at Xpanded.

In one of my earliest forum posts, I remarked on how few women of non-European descent had appeared on Xpanded TV: https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2430022 which was made light of, in at least one reply, and another response replied to a post which partly agreed with me, seemingly without having read precisely what I'd said in my original post.
As I said in that original post, I had previously raised the question on Xpanded's own defunct forum, without more than one response at all, as I recall, which shared my puzzlement, nonetheless.
That thread on 'black girls on the channels', is only nine pages long! Plus, it's a long time since I looked, but I don't recall finding much about 'Babestation Ebony', when I searched.

Also in that post, and possibly one other, I've described how I came to be expelled from the forum:
"[....] Eventually, I was banned, in the middle of a thread I subsequently started, about the severe limits on a forum for adults.
Although I did prompt a moderator to be more candid, than he wanted, about the apparently greater importance, at least, at that time, attributed to the webcam side, than tv.
I still have screenshots from then ...."
However much the specific personnel, and management outlook, might have changed at Xpanded, perhaps the TV channel remains a lesser priority.
That would make some sense of how relatively little, or slow, change there has been over many years, in contrast to the other two, in terms of onscreen personnel, and sets, even accounting for the OnlyFans dispute.
Although with few exceptions, since I interacted with some on its forum, I've paid little attention to the exclusively webcam women at Xpanded, there were certainly much fewer new faces on Xpanded TV, during the height of the pandemic, than on the other two channels.

Some of the Xpanded forum "screenshots" referenced above, were the basis for my nine-year overview post, in a 66 discussion thread, about the visual presentation of all the channels that appeared on 'Freeview': https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2484684

Addendum: also see here: https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2729412

The above post makes heavy reference to my own post (3799), but I’m not sure I (or others?) was looking for a deep analogy of ‘the decline of Xpanded TV’ or any of the other topics you have now veered towards.

I was merely responding to tired comments continually being made about the lack of nudity on Xpanded TV, and the need for those viewers to get over the fact Xpanded is doing things differently to BSTV.

I don’t know if Seducedx6 is just irked because my post received a good reaction (if their’s was about similar points but was ignored?), but perhaps keeping your posts brief and to the point might just help a bit?

All of my post is pertinent, both to what I responded to, and for a 'general discussion' thread about Xpanded.
Also, I'm certainly not alone in writing long posts.

As others have said, the main reason why none of the ex-S66 pool of talent have moved across to XP (with the exception of returnee Kendall) is probably the restriction on not being allowed to use OnlyFans. As mentioned, XP have their own in-house social media app for more explicit content - So Spoilt. This policy will continue to have a restrictive impact on intake of new recruitment, but they do manage to get new talent.

Another disincentive factor could be the relatively longer shifts at XP. A night show is 8 & 1/2 hours (which breaks obviously). That is quite tough as compared to BS where performers will do shows at a maximum of only a few hours at a time online (on bed cams) and on tv no more than an hour or so at a time (usually much less). So XP performers work much harder. But they do very well with a really solid pool of talent which I rate very highly (..just wish we saw more of Roxy Richardson who is on very infrequently)

most BS girls work from either 8 til 4 or 9-5 so its not that much different from Xpanded

the main reason is prob the Onlyfans issue

As I reiterated in post 3896 above, the possibility that tv is a lesser priority for Xpanded, needs to be considered, as a reason for the relative lack of change in its onscreen personnel, and possible less of a drive for recruitment.
The OnlyFans dispute might be only part of what's affecting that recruitment, as I'm sure that relative lack of new tv faces, predates that clash.

As I also elaborated in this/these post/s: https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2749021 there was a time when Xpanded did seem to make a big push to.. expand its tv output, but that evidently hasn't been the main direction in its trajectory.

With Ashton not on tonight either Vicki will be on by herself or some cover will be arranged.
Hopefully not in a box .
