RE: BabestationX & Live Shows - Chat & Discussion
^ Or a lot more people to phone in - I would guess their intention was that if you lowered the viewing price and put more girls on one after the other like the regular channels, they would get enough calls to make up the difference.
But it doesn't work if the callers aren't seeing anything they don't see on regular channels? - or, dare I suggest, are only seeing the same two or three ladies who are prepared to show more weekend after weekend ? Yes there will be a section of casual impulse customers who just watch one weekend and not every week who won't care about that and don't realise it's always the same lady on at the weekend, but are there enough of those customers?
In some ways you could see BS thinking - probably that makes no odds, they don't presumably worry that much if it's the same 4 or 5 performers on the regular channels every weekend ( ;)ie. those that aren't bothered about giving up their weekends ?) , no matter how much the forums howl.
I'd have thought for the BSXtra continuous phone-in live show concept to really work it needs a good mix of performers of different looks/types each shift who are all prepared to "show the goods". And as has been said before, I just don't think they have enough of those on their roster.
Beth, Amelia and Preeti (sometimes?) apart, the regular "open-leggers" have always tended to be the same couple of ....hesitates carefully over choice of words......more mature performers ? Nothing against them personally, but I'd guess they won't be to everybody's taste.
Others who have left the regular BS channels, like Brookie Little etc, don't seem keen to come back to this BSX channel, despite still doing cams and Unleashed for BS.
I'm sure I'm not the only one on Friday who might have paid for BSX to see Brookie Little do three live shows, old style; but was sitting thinking - why do I need to bother when she's there on Unleashed for free ?
It's a no-win scenario for the producers I think to be honest - if they put on "regular BS" girls, they get criticised when these performers are reluctant to show all and why should people pay for this; if they stick with performers they have that do, they get criticised it's the same old faces; if they try to put on "porn stars" / Unleashed performers etc, people say they don't want a censored-for-TV porn channel, they want "regular BS" girls showing a bit more than they are allowed to on normal TV. Back to square one.
I'd say they seem to be hamstrung on three fronts by -
regulators dictating a level of show even for pay-per-view that's below what majority of jaded internet-porn-viewing audience feels is the acceptable minimum level of explicitness
a majority of performers on their books that don't want to open their legs on screen more publicly beyond the confines of (in relative terms) more private webcam scenarios or their own private websites.
audience expectation and the fundamental basic resistance to having to pay any kind of money "to have a wank" in an internet age.
(Paying for phone calls I'd suggest is a bit different, there's an element of interaction that is the USP there ; but it is highly dependent on the visuals matching the expectations; again if this fails, the calls won't come in).
And there's two different audiences you're trying to cater for simultaneously with this channel - people who want to watch "harder" content on their TV but don't necessarily phone in; and people who want to phone in but want a more explicit visual service than they can get on the regular TV channels.
