Nice lesbian kiss on Eurovision now, channel 115

The babe channel producers are still shying away from showing kissing

Well I have to be honest here, it's the first time I can remember in a very long time that I've seen ofcom back off so much from the channels. Last year apart from Ofcom's attempts to take Babestation down nothing further of serious worry springs to mind.

I don't want to temp fate here but I think the channels have done very well to ride the storm out because once a upon a time ofcom were hellbent on destroying the lot of them. For the time being I still suspect that a lot will still be bordering on the cautious side until the coast is well and truly clear

No, sorry. It was an innocent locking of lips between two women after a live song and dance performance, and was part of the show as well. Nothing over the top, just a few seconds of mild open mouth kissing.

What's funny is that if Ofcom was to give the channel a warning or fine, they'd be looked at as being prejudiced against the lesbians, so I doubt they will do anything, yet the babe channel producers are worried Ofcom will fine them for kissing. Even on Babestation the other night, we had breasts out, bare bums, licking the sides of bums, spanking and more, yet as soon as Jenn and Lacey were about to kiss, the producer zoomed in. A couple of times he seemed to allow a bit of it, but you could see them looking at him because he was telling them off.

Makes no sense to me.

But what if a channel was transgressing the rules in some terrible way? Surely they would have to act (want to act) with reasonable speed then?

I seem to recall they acted more swiftly with Babestar, who were taking the piss somewhat. However, even with Bang Babes it took around a year to take them off air.

I think something is brewing, so I've been prompted to come out of retirement for a while.

Back in March we had the promise of 'statutory sanctions' against the licensee that hosts the channels we cannot mention. I saw a post here a few days ago referring to an imminent closedown of said channels.

I can't find it, and the poster could've been guessing, but I have a feeling that some channels will be disappearing soon, given that the licensee is in fact a non-trading company with just about enough funds to pay the tube fare to Ofcom's offices, never mind a mega fine.

Following on from mrmann's point I thought I would post this cap I managed to take last night when the BabestationX show was previewed just to throw a spanner in the works for you



Nice

Well SB i hope you're right mate, i have to agree with you that it appears ofcom have backed off concerning the babeshows. Which if our assumptions are true, this might mean a change at Ofcom HQ, which is about bloody time. The babeshows have done well so far to ride out the storm, however lets not get to carried away, but it appears the signs are looking more favourable for us all.
I guess time will tell, however i'm hoping that the remaining 6 months of 2013 will be good news for our beloved babeshows

We still have a long way to go before we reach the heights of this previous glory.

I found the links at the bottom of skateguys profile page so a big thank you goes to him for keeping these links in the archives who used to be something of a prolific poster back in the day when the UK Babe Channels were something special before ofcom came in and fucked it all up.

Please note I also posted these links on the Babe Channels Discussion Thread but I felt they were relevent here too just to remind you all of what they used to be and just how far behind we are now. We have a long long way to go yet.

I don't think Ofcom have backed off at all or are likely to in the near future, in fact i can feel it in my water that something is a foot, RLC have not very recently gone tamer than normal without reason, STD 66 has tame nights as well, xxXPanded is tame all the time so you can't tell with them, Storm is the same, i haven't seen it mentioned by Ofcom that they are launching any new investigations into the babe channels and i haven't seen it mentioned by Ofcom that any complaints have been made to Ofcom about the babe shows recently either, but something doesn't feel right to me, there's just to many extra nervous camera guys knocking round most of the channel in my view that could indicate they know something is a foot.
Also just remember the cap posted by SB of girls kissing was a cap from a European owned and licensed channel regulated by Nicam not Ofcom .
