I'm no Ofcom expert, but I'm pretty sure they don't have any timetable by which they review channels.
If it was around this time last year when the rules were tightened, I think that was just in response to the level of complaints that had been received, and judgements made against the babechannels in the preceeding months rather than because it was 'that time of year'.
Thanks Munch I appreciate you responding to me, your post makes perfect sense, I won't speak anymore about it.
Thanks again

The reason I bring this up is if memory serves me correct it was round this time last yr towards the end of march/April time that ofcom toughened there stance against the Babe channels, and I was wondering is this the time of yr when they review them?
If anyone could let me no I would be grateful
Thanks
Now this is an interesting point that's been brought up, I think it's time for Ofcom to sit back, listen for once and take stock of the situation regarding their current hardline no nonsense stance against the babe channels. They really do need to justify what is harm and offence and is it really neccessary when it comes to Adult channels because as the Dutch have said regarding Babestation for example read this statement in a press statement: “The permissive Dutch regulator, NICAM, allows porn on terrestrial TV saying it is not “seriously harmful” to children. NICAM says it “does not pass a judgement on the content, the good-bad taste and the decency of television programmes.” This is food for thought when it comes to how we the British are regulating such channels. Surely it has been proven without a shadow of a doubt now as the Dutch have been broadcasting Adult material for years now and the evidence is crystal clear for all to see that Nicam's stance on this is justified. We need change and the rules need and should be changed to reflect this modern era we now live in, I mean FFS David Cameron has now said it is perfectly acceptable for Gay's to get married, so what is still taboo has now become law. The Adult Channels need a similar statement regarding them too, it's unfair and blatant discrimination that Ofcom are still being allowed to throw their weight around in this a modern day democracy that pretty much allows everything else to have a liberal approach. Time for change, only Country in Europe that doesn't allow for Adult content to be broadcast and frankly it's a disgrace.

What amazes me is that folks should be surspised that the UK still retains such a backwards 'non-liberal', or anti-liberal appraoch to all things sex. Really, they say we're of the adavanced, deveoped world, but I seriously do not beleive it.
Like the war on drugs, it's not a question of sex, it's aquestion of our individual freedom to choose what we want. The UK is driven by the illusion of choice, when in fact it's as troconian as some of the thrid world coutries.

They don't want to accept the fact that humans are humans, with sexual urges. This is natural. Sex is Natural! These women are not forced against their will to perform for us. If they were, then I think all of us here would be completely against that, which is completely sick and sad. Anyone who forces people to do something should be put in jail and prosecuted! I think we all agree with this.
We are all sexual beings, and Ofcom needs to accept that many natural urges are out of their control. People will always be sexual, and there's nothing they can do about it. We won't change! We will always have these urges!! There's nothing wrong about it either, despite what Ofcom believes. Watching nudity on a babe channel does not mean that we all willl start commiting sex crimes or impregnating lots of women around the world! The ones who do are already screwed from the get go! Acceptance of human nature is what Ofcom needs to focus on first, without overreacting to everything!

Well according to their last bulletin, a single, solitary complaint against a babe channel justifies possible widespread harm and offense. They're right there, for once.. the complaint certainly offended me.

One assumes that failing exams in subjects that require logical thinking or math skills is an advantage when applying for Ofcom jobs.
Good news for English Literature graduates then.

really boring.please delete the thread and pay no more attention to ofcom or their biased rules
RE: Ofcom Discussion - continental19 - 29-03-2012 19:00
In my opinion Ofcom's position is untenable, after being made a laughing stock of in front of there European Neighbours. If you imagine we're at a poker table and we see Ofcom appearing to holding a winning hand trying to bluff there way through the game. However the Reality is that Ofcom are holding a Shitty hand, and though they appear to be untouchable, i do feel a change is inevitable.
Whether it be from another Regulatory Body, i don't honestly no, however i would think even Ofcom themselves must realise there so called solid foundation, is starting to crumble
