Rammy it simply isn't in the same league as Studio66

If last night was used as a rehearsal for tonight which seems to be the case then don't expect to be blown away. Also it would appear that ETV could be enforcing rules even more strict than the ofcom ones. Also interesting to note is that the Babestation music is being used and not what the rest of Europe are hearing.

ETV actually play a lot of music from the past and current charts. Interestingly the music of Queen always seems to feature very heavily as it's been known for them to play entire albums of the band during the show.

1. Alienate your established audience which you've spent many years cultivating over an entire continent.

Perhaps this gives them the excuse they are looking for to tone the shows down. So many posters here say that ETV want to promote their website more than anything else. If so, maybe broadcasting in the UK gives them a good excuse for limiting what they give people for free.

Agree with Rammy, doesn't seem that good so far too many girls wandering around studio, need to be careful not to trip over cable from their headsets, maybe they don't have funds for wireless, one girl keeps taking tights on and off, give it bit longer, then off to watch Kandi Kay a real night girl

Out of curiosity, have they ever had any known porn stars on ETV or any girls that do explicit webcams?

Yes there was in some attempts to do something not understood, but they never done more than their normal models.
At the begin ETV had the screen with a great black band with the warning that the hot part of the show was on inxtc/xplustv, their encrypted channels were they made porno shows. But it was a quick failure and all the smart card buyers were scrubbed

Precisely this.

Until the last couple months, the "Exclusive shows" (paid show on the Website where the sender requests a show of 1-2 models and everyone has to pay to watch) were something done only during the day, and back when they were introduced (in a slightly different form in March 2012) they were a nice way to circumvent the strict daytime censorship. Not only that, but all the subscribed members (who, in order to be "subscribed", had to buy credits) could watch for free.

After a while, they introduced the price of 1 credit for all Exclusive shows. Symbolic price, some of you might say, but it adds up. Keep in mind that Exclusive shows are never longer than 5 minutes.

In the last months, they started toying with the idea of Exclusive shows during the night. You must understand that, while nothing about the UK thing was in the air, Exclusive shows during the night were pointless for us, as they aren't necessarily hotter than the normal TV show, and so they were seen as just one more way to cash in.

So, it is probably safe to say that they've been deliberately taking stuff away from the TV show in preparation for this move in the UK. That way, we are already used to that, at least in theory.

Yes it simply isn't in the same league as s66. S66 is several leagues above it at the moment. To use football analogy. S66 is the premier league and eurobabes is the football conference.

Wasn't expecting to be blown away but even do first impressions for me are not good

Thank you for your comments. Very interesting. It does look as though this has been in the planning for some time.
