channels 912 and 959 are gone from sky

Re: Chs 912/959 etc. and tameness all round. I'm just watching luscious Lori Buckby on Elite Ch 965 and she is not toning down. She is her usual naked, sexy, giving her all self (what a girl) with only the discreetly placed hands, where they are unfortunately legally supposed to be, in the way. So at least one of the girls albeit not Bang babes is not being cowed.

Not sure how true this is BUT someone asked Tori on her fb if she knows when 912 and 959 are back & she said tomorrow (Thurs)

I'll believe it when I see it


Lilly and Donna were good last night as were Dannii & Lucy tonight

Just to bring some sanity to this thread, it would hardly be possible to deliberately get Sky to pull the plug on the EPG at 10:45 on a Friday night. From now on, let's have sensible theories only please.

just seen that, she posted it 7 hours ago which means it will be friday when things should be fully back which is what admin back.

I've just read through the threads since yesterday to see if the show got any better after 1, but it looks like the same tame show throughout the night! I for one hope that Bang return like Cathy Barry said in another post "with a bang" but to me this is all too hush hush, especially the long winded response we got from Bang. First they said it was a technical fault by Sky, so I called Sky and they stated that the fault was not theirs and that I needed to ask the broadcaster why they are no longer broadcasting 912 and 959. Then we had Mancub who has inside info from Danni who said they were told it has nothing to do with the recent content, but after watchin last night the proof was in the pudding, back to the tame old ways, and I feel sorry for the girls as they would if they could give a show worth watching.

As for a rebranding marketing ploy theory, eh what, if it is they must have the worst marketing directive ever.

Regarding the so called loophole due to an overseas licence, I dont buy this either, what about the foreign channels on Sky, do they all hold a UK licence, dont think so, but are they all subject to ofcom broadcasting regs as they are televised on a UK platform!

If Bang are under investigation once more and Ofcom go to town can they afford another £150K fine!

I hope I'm wrong but it doesn't looked good.

stop blaming ofcom. if it was ofcom, it would have been announced in one of their bulletins they were taking the channels away. also they would have taken all the bang channels of the air not just 2.

bang have consistently said its technical problems and i believe them until otherwise proved. yes bang have been fined by ofcom but no announcements about removing channels stop these conspiracy theories.

also all channels have a spell where they are really hot and pushing the boundaries and then followed by a spell of being quieter and seems bang are in the quieter.

Have I blamed Ofcom, and just because nothing is published in a bulletin doesn't mean that they are not under investigation, if and I hope you a correct it is a technical fault and it is taking a week to resolve then they should look at the muppets they have working for them, it does not take a week to sort out a live feed, believe me I know, and Sky have stated it is not their fault. If they return tomorrow as speculated then it could have possibly been a finance problem as others have stated.

not saying you, but lots of people have. hopefully things will be sorted tomorrow

maybe, i hate to say this, a way of getting some girls of their books

Rammy, channels 902 and 915 are playboy channels, not bang channels thus the license is held by playboy, regardless of what's broadcast on them. So the fact bang is broadcasting on two playboy channels does not exclude ofcom potentially taking some sort of action.
