playboy chat's replacement on freeview - dave34 - 06-12-2012 10:21
as you show all no by now that playboy chat tv is no longer on freeview (DTT) so what Babe channel would like to see in it's place.

Ultimately with whatever channel takes this Freeview space it will be down to costs and whether financially being on Freeview is viable.
Freeview is probably the most expensive of all the transmission platforms so I would guess added costs would be the main factor for whoever takes this channel space.

Ideally, someone surprising (i.e. not one of the "big" names). Realistically, that's who it will be (one of the big shots).

Storm or S66

One problem UK based babe channels have on freeview is that they are at a disadvantage concerning start times compared to European regulated channels like BS, as we know Ofcom doesn't allow babe channels to transmit before 12am on freeview, so they loose out on a time when revenue could be high, BS start at 10pm using their Dutch licence and have never had any competition from a competitor before 12am. so they pretty much have the market on freeview sewn up early on in the night.
No other company has so far managed to stay on freeview for more than a year or so, presumably they couldn't make it pay, could this be down to the disadvantage they have compared to BS with start times ?, we know it's expensive to broadcast on freeview but it must be profitable or else BS/Cellcast wouldn't have been broadcasting various babe channels on freeview since 2006 to the present , BS/Cellcast currently have more channels overall on freeview than Sky, so that must say something about what BS think about the profitability of running shows on freeview .
One thing that could be a possibility is for a rival channel to come to some sort of a agreement with BS to use one of their free channels such as BS2 Ch 177 or Blue Ch 176 that is beneficial to both company's, the old Sky Live 960 channel did this, they used a BS channel to broadcast their show on freeview and called it Live 99 , if i remember correctly Live 99 used to advertise BS/Cellcast products on their channel, maybe BS let them use their channel a bit cheaper if they promoted various BS products ? , so maybe a company like Storm or xxXpanded if they couldn't afford their own channel could come to some arrangement to lease a channel from BS Like Live 960 did ? .

I see on the poll a couple of members have voted more than once,It's a poll,pick one of the other channels you think should replace Playboy.Multiple votes just makes a mockery of the idea.
If you would like to see any of the other channels take the slot,Why not post something in the thread instead of cluttering the poll with multiple votes,I'm sure that dave34 would like an honest example of peoples views.

Well I can say it is unlikely to be any of the options above. Due to forum restrictions I can't give any more details.

I voted lots of times because I'm a nice guy
I also tend to forget that Masti is technically not a "little" channel at all
