To be honest i think the channel is dying on it's arse , it seems to have gone off track to what "babestation" said the channel was all about when it started , it was originally intended to give people the opportunity to see "Babestation girls going further than ever before", BS said that all the non BS stuff featuring non BS girls and the American soft stuff was just temporary until more and more BS girl films could be shot , not so long ago a lot of BS girls were shown , the live Naked Babestation sections were nearly always done by regular BS girls , giving the viewers according to BS the opportunity to see the regular girls showing more than they are allowed on regular tv channels , this happens less and less , also the 2 girl live show action used to mainly feature regular BS girls , when was the last time 2 regular BS girls featured in live G/G action ? . Not sure why the regular BS girls no longer do the live G/G shows or don't appear as often on "naked Babestation", maybe they don't want to do them or want more money to appear fully nude so BS get girls in from outside of BS . When TVX started their live encrypted shows not so long ago they also originally used mostly the regular TVX Phone girls , after a while they also started using out side girls and many of them from the Sexstation web show , the show then lost it's appeal to the viewers and the show was axed , it wouldn't surprise me with BS making the same mistake if it ends up the same way .

Anyway if you want to see some regular BS girls live going further than ever before in G/G action then the only place seems to be Amanda Rendall's Shebang.tv web show , many BS girls now appear live on that show in G/G action , something that you don't get to see on a BS encrypted channel any longer , Ava Blue will be appearing on Shebang with Dani O'Neil in some 2 girl action on September the 4th

Mr M - I think you have hit the nail on the head.

I think he's missed the nail completely and flattened his thumb to be honest...

It's true that the show has become something different to what we may have had in mind for it when it was conceived... but that's just the show evolving into what our resources allow, and in no way means it isn't still a success for us, and really isn't "dying on it's arse".

We're using a lot of sexstation web show girls on the Naked Babestation section at the moment; this is just an idea we're trying to add a bit of variation, and also probably because they're more inclined to go further than the BS girls. Not everyone is a fan boy wanting to see their BS girl get naked; a lot of people just want to see a naked girl having fun and don't really care who she is. It would be great to see more of your Babestation night girls doing Naked Babestation, but the reality is there really aren't that many that want to do full-frontal on television, so the schedule was getting a bit repetitive... hence trying something new.

We do have a lot of external content; again, this is just because the reality of having to fill over 5 hours of television with content means we just don't have the resources to fill it with all Babestation stuff. That's all it is. We're always trying to shoot new stuff and get better BS films for Xtreme... like the shoots we got in Mallorca recently, and yesterday we were shooting all day getting some (so I hear) quite cool stuff.

So, believe me, regardless of what you might think about what the show has evolved into, don't start thinking it doesn't make a healthy enough profit to survive.[b]

Quote:Because the company which provides Babestation is based in the Netherlands, it is licensed and regulated by the relevant authorities in the Netherlands, and not by Ofcom. The relevant authorities in the Netherlands are the Nederlands Instituut voor de Classificatie van Audiovisual Media (NICAM), which regulates the content of television channels, and the Commissariat Voor De Media (CVDM), which has issued the licence.

Television broadcast licences which are granted in one European country are recognised in other European countries, and TV channels licensed in one EC country are often available to viewers in other countries. Babestation is an example of this. Although the channel is licensed in the Netherlands, it is carried on the Freeview platform here in the UK.

A forum member "Chilly" asked Ofcom themselves about who regulates the BS channels with the Dutch licence here is a quote from Ofcoms reply originaly posted in the Ofcom thread
