Ofcom's next target

If we are going to be petty about misleading channel titles, how about Xplicit (not explicit), Babestation (no trains, no tunnels), Babeworld (UK only judging by the Union Jack flag), Get Lucky TV (I havent), Elite Knights (starts before sunset in summer and no suits of armour, though plenty of amour), Honey Nights and Cream Live (no foodstuffs), Brit Ladies (a Lady wouldnt do that), Northern Birds (werent some of them Essex Babes earlier), Essex Babes (same bird on both, is she bi?), 40+ Readers Wives (only one on screen), Elite Nights (surely the title "Elite" should be reserved for The Other Side, featuring HRH Camilla) and SportxxxGirls (not a hockey stick between them).

Is anyone else picturing Bailey and Denni, soaked in oil, with a hockey stick between them?

Sorry to drift off topic, but this analysis made me laugh hard - "Get Lucky TV (I haven't)"

I hope no-one gets targeted. I choose not to vote in this because I don't want to see any more targeted - its been a tough couple of months for babe shows and quite frankly, I've had enough of sanctioning...

In some ways its a pity this isnt Italy, because some of the channels would be owned by Cabinet Ministers.

They will be after sky news now after they repeatedly showed Venus Williams Arse on the news yesterday

Well my money is still on RLL with 5 complaints still to be investigated but expect those outcomes on Monday. With only 2.17% of the vote TVX now have 4 complaints to be investigated from December. What did i miss.

Not her arse, shes wearing flesh coloured pants. Ofcom clearly established that is a breach of the Broadcasting Code in a case against Asian Babes last year. No doubt they will issue a stern warning against any channel that showed it and threaten them with sanctions if there is a repeat. Not.

Well it would appear we all got it wrong. Ofcom are about to issue a financial sanction with possibly a 'Notice of Direction' to a channel operator not mentioned above.
The decisions on the 5 complaints against RLL have also been published and yes you've guessed it 'In Breach'. These broadcasts are shown on channels licensed to Playboy and Just4us who have previously been found in breach so therefore Ofcom are now stating

In light of the above and Ofcom‟s recent concerns with Just4Us and Playboy‟s compliance, Ofcom is now requiring the licensees to attend a meeting at Ofcom to discuss its compliance procedures. Ofcom also puts Just4Us and Playboy on notice that it must take all necessary and appropriate measures to ensure its channels comply with the BCAP Code in the future. Ofcom will not expect further breaches of this nature to occur again.

So whilst RLL have taken ex Bang talent on don't expect to see them pushing any limits. Whilst Playboy did relax it's stance with Bang (post revocation) following the meeting of all channel licensee's in early December they will not want to suffer the revocation of a licence, imposition of a Notice of Direction or financial penalty due to non compliance of a broadcaster. Expect to see them put RLL on a very tight leash with immediate effect.

Read all about it.

The broadcasts in question were sub-contracted and Ofcom met with beligerent responses, challenging the legitimacy of the complaints and claiming that Ofcom could not reach a decision until it had supplied full details of the complaint (implied) and its own procedures. This is not best calculated to get them in a good mood.

In several cases recording were not supplied, and Ofcom pointed to previous warnings. As Oscar Wilde might have said, to breach once is a mistake, to breach twice is careless, three times is taking the piss.
