I also realise now that I am one of a very few who posts on here through my phone due to not having a P.C or laptop.

And not having a mobile phone I had no idea you could post here without a pc or laptop!

The trouble is that we all tend to assume that what's normal for us is normal for everyone else.

babestation just come on freeview and lolly on woohoo we should get atleats 10mins of lolly and 50 mins of the host

Cellcast are certainly showing how pleased they are to have Lolly back. She picks up the mic to speak, gets one word out and is blasted off the screen by a BSXtreme promo.

Welcome back, Lolly.

Everyone will have freeview because u can only watch tv unless you have freeview since they took down the analogue signal last year. i would love to see what teh actual freeview audience actually ok freeview might have a bigger target audience but im sure many dont even know the channels are there.

More than half the country hasn't converted yet - in terms of land area anyway, not sure about population.

The digital switchover has not happened in all parts of the country yet.
e.g. the London region will not changeover until next year.
Analogue tv is still transmitted as well as digital in such regions, although I would imagine that most people, even in non switched over regions, will have newish tvs and be able to watch freeview.
Most people would be aware of the adult section since it is not far below the BBC 24 hour news in the EPG.

After watching "The Lost Boys Trilogy" last night, I thought i'd tune into BS thinking that they would of stopped advertising BSXtreme due to the fact it was 4:30am and only half an hour left. Amanda was on BS1 and then at 4:40am, Geri comes on saying you can get BSXtreme for the rest of the night at £3.
Why would anybody pay £3 for 20mins, when its £5 for the whole night.
For fucks sake BS, stop pushing BSXtreme down our necks and there is no fucking point in still advertising BSXtreme past 4am because you have to be a mug to pay £3 for 1hr or less of softcore shite.
I wish Geri or Megan would tell the producers to calm down because they are also getting dragged into the firing line between us (the viewers) and BS Management. All they need to say is "Look, going on every 2-5mins and interupting the show is not neccessary" and if BS say "We pay your wages", then they should just say "And who pays yours". If they got the boot, then i'm sure they would find another channel to work for. Rant over.

Almost everyone I've spoken to in the last couple of years seems to be completely unaware of the Babe channels (unless they're just pretending )

A lot of people seem to stick almost religiously to the 5 (or 4 in many cases) channels they've always watched (even more religiously with BBC1 and ITV1), with some watching the odd programme/film on the ITV/BBC "digital only" channels.
Also, many people stick to the "traditional" news bulletins at 6pm/10pm on BBC1 and ITV1.

Younger adults are generally aware of the Babe channels, but, again, most pretend never to have watched any.

"The road to Good Intentions be paved with Hell"

Any hope that our complaints are being taken seriously was smashed to bits last night. The black boxes were supplemented by a variety of garishly coloured ones, sometimes blown up to full screen and left like that for anything up to 2 minutes at a time. It's impossible to think that anyone could imagine that to be an improvement, so the only possible conclusion is that it was a metaphorical middle finger – a deliberate piss-take to show their complete contempt for our protests.

After 4 months of insincere promises that a better way was being created the existing situation is still with us and, far from being improved, is being made worse with every day that passes.

What should be the flagship of babe shows has become a sad, pathetic, amateurish shambles.

Edited for typo.

It really is such a kick in the teeth (and a kick somewhere else) that just when we think we might be getting somewhere, they put on a show which interrupts a girl within three minutes of her return, and then blanks out the screen with an even more eyesore of a graphic.

Nice one babestation.... hell of a good way to treat your fans. I've said repeatedly here that we want to help, but in order for that to happen, BS must first listen to the criticism. I feel we've been very patient, and very constructive in our views. There's only so much ball-kicking we can take though...
