Elite TV / Studio 66 - General Chat & Discussion

^ judging by recent night output, including barely getting babes to screen, the nights on TV surely must be loss making. Might be making up for it on daytime, I don't know

^ Yeah, considering the expense of putting a show on tv, whether there's output or not, the number one priority should be actually putting a babe onscreen to earn money. Not putting on a show isn't going to save anything really, most of the costs are there regardless of output.

It's like buying a machine to hire out, costing £1k/month in finance charges, and deciding not to send it out to save the cost of the diesel. It makes no financial sense whatsoever.

In the same vein, something that has bugged me for years. Waiting to see who's on the freeview channels when they start at midnight. Bs's second channel will start on the stroke of 12, almost without fail. Flick over to 679 and - fuck-all.
What time do they actually start? I've never had the patience to wait

The Freeview EPG listing is a free service.

This idea of having so many girls on the schedule when only three are actually going to be on television is ridiculous and confusing. Most seem to want to do more web/Perv cam stuff or as is the norm now at home with their boyfriends providing b/g sex shows for the chatters. You hope someone like Millie Michaels or others will appear but in the end it is just web camming from home with terrible lighting and the girl half the time will just be sitting/lying there and fiddling about with their smartphone.

Regarding tip goals...

Yes, compare the s66 home cammers to the home cammer on chaturbate. Some of the camera quality/resolution leaves the s66 studio in the shade never mind the s66 homers.

I believe it's been mentioned on this forum before, that Sky EPG slot costs vary depending were about in the EPG the channel is located, ie the EPG cost of channel 912 is probably more than the cost of channel 923.
There is also the cost of the Freeview EPG slot as well, which i have no idea how much that costs .

So basically S66 is currently paying £2,000 x4 (including Freeview) for their licences, and paying whatever it is for 4 EPG slots, on top of that, is all the money they have to shell out in order to be able to provide a actual TV picture on Sky and Freeview .

I wonder what the total combined cost is, that S66 has to shell out in order to broadcast on 4 TV channels ? .

spot on as usual Dave, its the EPG position thats the main cost, sky have proved that most people start at the lowest number in the section they are interested in and then + up till they get to something that interests them,
the slots 66 are using in the 92x section outside of the babeshows section could be half the price or less of what XP pay for the prime number 902,
but as a lot of people will never get that high in the EPG they will get a far lower foot fall number so its a trad off,
i think they hoped that by growing there website it would make up for any drop in calls from sky they got by moving to the twilight zone of the 92x's and there for would the money saved in sky fees would be a good deal, it will be interesting to know if this is working out for them,

I'd say the opposite. Until last night when they were short, I've found the night shows to be surprisingly packed with girls recently. I didn't see anything of Monday night until the early hours, but I still saw as many as 6 girls on TV. For a Monday night I thought that was quite surprising. In fact most nights they seem to have no problem with packing girls in. Since they are willing to pay so many girls to come in, the nights on TV surely must be profitable.

I agree, they usually have 4 or 5 women in the studio during the night shift until at least 2 or 3 in the morning. They have massively expanded the number that are camming/streaming from home too. They regularly have 3, 4 or 5 sometimes more on cams. I'm just guessing but I'd say from a financial view point S66 might be doing quite well, but because their tv/webshow output is a lot of the time lacklustre and restricted it could give the impression of failing, which is understandable. But I think their bottom line is looking healthy. Again I'm just speculating going by the fact they (almost) always have several babes on the go in some format or another and they appear to be doing reasonably well.

I was actually meaning the freeview channel slot itself, including broadcasting hours etc, not just the channel EPG listing service lol, i probably should have made that more clear .

Like i meant to say, i have no idea how much money S66 had to payout for this freeview channel slot including broadcast hours, or how long they have it for, do they pay annually ?, or is it a longer fixed term long contract ?, i have no idea myself how it works, but it has been mentioned in the past that a freeview channel slot/air time is expensive, and it costs more to broadcast on Freeview than Sky .
