RE: EuroBabes - Chat & Discussion
bs pulled starlets because it was not getting them the amount of money they felt a babe channel should even though it was a the wrong end of the EPG so would never make as much as the other bs channels,
so i would think that ETV are paying bs a flat fee to use the channel, the fee would have to be what bs think the channel is worth and not what it made or there was no point in getting rid of starlets, that's why i think it would be a flat fee on not a % of calls as bs know what the calls make on 945 and wanted more,
if this is the case then it will be very hard of ETV to make money from the channel but that would back up what some have said about the channel being a loss leader to bring more people from a new country on to there website,

However In the US it is the other way round where companies like DirectTV and Dish pay broadcasters like FOX, CBS and NBC.
Its pretty much the same here, SKY buy up the likes of Comedy Central, SKY 1, Sky Sports, the movie channels and so on. Genres such as Gaming, Religious, Adult and teleshopping are not part of the SKY Franchise, they have no obligation to them whatsoever, SKY have no responsibility over what they broadcast and SKY also offer them no protection.
These channels pay SKY rent money for a space on the EPG which is what makes it complicated, Cellcast rent 945 from SKY and then subrent this to ETV. It's also worth noting that since ETV have started broadcasting the BS shows have been toned down themselves as another poster pointed out on the BS Thread this is because ofcom will be monitoring the output of Cellcast more heavily than normal.
Like I said in my last post I think ETV have only got this arrangement in temporary until they have managed to build up a customer base from the UK with the next stage to then own the channel 945, thus severing all ties will Cellcast and try to sell this as a stand alone channel to us SKY viewers and possibly even to their European customers aswell. Watch this space as that's my prediction for the long term.
