RE: Ofcom Discussion
Well ever since Nicam told ofcom to sling their hook, Cellcast have been more or less left alone, hassle free, the only reason I suspect they don't broadcast harder shows is probably because it would then render their Xtreme show pointless.
On the subject of other channels obtaining a Dutch Licence they would have to move their base to the Neitherlands. This could prove to be quite costly so the only way for change has to come from a challenge, our time will come that's I'm sure of. As I've said before how can the vagina be deemed offensive but the breasts are ok.
Ofcom allways use the line we are protecting the kids bullshit. That's why we have the watershed. I don't recall the ITC having made any fuss whatsoever about this type of entertainment. This nanny state was started by the previous government and carried on by the current one.
One ray of hope is for Scotland to gain independence which could ultimately crumble ofcom.

RE: Ofcom Discussion
The facts are according to Ofcom themselves that they do not regulate the BS channels with a Dutch licence, they do not deal with the complaints, they pass them on to the Dutch regulator , Ofcom cannot dish out fines or give out in breach rulings etc to the BS Dutch channels , Ofcom themselves have said they are powerless to prevent the BS channels from broadcasting on freeview at a time when Ofcom do not allow phone in babe channels that they class as adult teleshopping services to transmit (before 12am) , BS broadcasting what Ofcom describe as adult teleshopping services before 12am is what led them to complain to the Dutch regulator , this complaint has got them nowhere , the proof of the pudding is in the eating , BS has been defying Ofcom for around 2 years now and is still transmitting at a time when adult teleshopping channels are not allowed to transmit on freeview , if Ofcom had any powers to prevent BS broadcasting before 12am they would have used them by now and wouldn't have gone and complained to NICAM and got told by them to fuck off
In fact i would wager my house on BS/Cellcast continuing to defy Ofcom and carry on broadcasting their channels on freeview before 12am for the foreseeable future .
{edit} If Ofcom had some means of blocking the Dutch regulated channels from starting on freeview before 12am and haven't done so after 2 years then they are guilty of not using means at their disposal to prevent something from being shown that under Ofcom rules cannot be broadcast , however you look at it Ofcom are incompetent and are not fit for purpose .
Life is short . Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile .

RE: Ofcom Discussion
I remember a long long time ago you just never know what to expect and that was one of the attactions of tuning into the babe channels. Back in the day you could have an absolute horror stinker of a show one night and the next night it would simply blow you away. Weekends you were allways guaranteed a good show.
Before ofcom came in and fucked it all up the channels were allways spontaneous. Some models would go further than others. One of the things I allways remember from the days of Babestar TV was Tammy Oldhams extremely hairy pussy, personally I prefer them shaved but I'm not going to be too picky when it comes to seeing it on a babeshow.
Poppy Morgan too was some performer, out with the dildos on Sexstation TV and that was FTA BTW. The summer of 2006 was when the shows were at their absolute peak. If what you were viewing on fta wasn't up to scratch you allways had the option of watching the Sportxxx live encrpted show for a mere £5.99 in which you were treated to a 3 hour anything goes show.
Right now we have no to little options, the babe shows appear to be dying on their arses. Night after night we are subjected to mediocrity. The channels these days are run by individuals who are shit scared of upsetting the censors. The rules and regulations will only remain for as long as the channels are willing to accept them. Change doesn't happen unless you make it happen.
No other channel on the SKY EPG outside of the adult channels would take what happened to Storm so easily and that's why ofcom never target them as much, if ITV recieved only 1 complaint do you think they'd take it lying down, no would they fuck. Ofcom are not as daft as we think they all are, they know what they are doing, they know that their bread and butter depends soley on attacking the smaller targets because they know they'll get absolutley no resistence from any of them.
We'll only get to see a return to the golden days if good men get up and fight, to do nothing and this prejudice will continue whether it's the Tories or the Labour Party in power.
