captions and phone numbers on all channels

could anyone explain to me why they need such a big display of captions/phone numbers ect. at the bottom half of the page.it takes up in my oppinion too much of the screen when a single row of captions moving accross the top or the bottom of the screen would do the job

Here here!

I've been saying this for ages myself.

And a warm welcome to you.

id expect its for trading standards, there is so much "small print" about how your number will be spammed with useless texts etc. and how they will screw you for every penny they can.

they have to cover there own backs

Yes they do, but Club Paradiso, for example, deal with this very well. Their OSC is always well positioned, and as small as can be. Always put in a position where it is least imposing on the girl we are viewing (more often than not at the top corner of the screen). And all whilst not omitting any legal info they must show - most of the legalities scroll across the very bottom edge of the screen where it's no issue at all in terms of viewing.

The other channels would do well to follow their lead in this respect.
