I think that as well, as don't think it will just be bang that goes, I think others will soon follow, and tbh it wouldn't suprise me if the regs are changed to make things stricter of what the girls wear, especially on daytime, which tbh are needed as there is now barely any different in what the girls wear between daytime and nightime, are they trying to become like spain? haha! where if many of the regs where followed I would be amazed. I only follow the ones which means I can keep my license, others can bug off.

thats why its all the more reason for nobody else to stir up trouble, and not give them any more ammunition to work with. If Ofcom had their way, they would shut them all down. Please, please, please - don't any more channels give them any more reason to impose sanctions. None of us want to see the channels stopped.

Your stupidness is jaw-dropping. Can't you see how self-contradictory you're being? On the one hand you welcome Ofcom's decision and say that the dayshows need to clean up, and then on the other you're laughing at the idea of these channels becoming more european in their outlook.

You applaud Ofcom's ruling, but then laugh at their regulations in general, all in the same breath!!

Yeah it was real stupid I just stopped reading it halfway thru. I have no idea as to what's allowed in Spain and am not interested either[/i]

I can kind of see where Bang Media were coming from by eventually just deciding not to respond to Ofcom - after all, it never seemed to make a difference to the outcome, so why bother?

What I still can't understand (and it's old territory that's been covered on here many times before) is why none of the channels have ever taken Ofcom to task over these rulings - to actually ask them to justify their claims of potential harm and exceeded expectations of audiences by revealing what research they were basing the claims on.

Unless they can back up these claims with solid, independent research, I don't see how their restrictions on free-to-air material like the Babe Channels, or the ban on even encrypted R18, can be said to be either proportional or justified.

This may have been answered so I apologise in advance for asking...

If Bang have had their licence revoked, why are they able to continue broadcasting on 902?

With all the little arguments etc i kind of lost the threadmidway through

Does anyone know if the recent breakfast shows that Ofcom complained about were stronger than the competition?

@ astonv1. The licence for 902 is owned by Playboy. Bang Media just lease it from them.

Well I don't think it's ben answered officially, aston, but as I said in an earlier post, I can only presume the revocation isn't with 'immediate effect'. That's the only reason I can think of.
