Chatshows swearing pre watershed springs to mind, and other such no no's.
Mind you thats all jolly acceptable, where as dirty tv channels remain taboo in this country.

I don't want to get too judgemental or incite some kind of flame war with religious folk but in one of the ofcom bulletins there was a description of a religious channel that broadcast a topic that received some complaints for having discussing and condoning rape by a husband under the circumstance that the wife was unwilling to have sex. The investigation of the complaint resulted in not much more than an official kind of "try not to do it again" type notice to the broadcaster (and later a relatively small fine).
'Children seeing some flesh during the day' versus 'letting them watch a show that explains how rape is OK' WTF!!
How can a little smut on a day-time show be in the same league of immorality as allowing someone to preach that rape is OK ? Again I say, WTF!!
Sure 60 offences is a lot but I would measure 60 'nip-slips' against a channel broadcasting someone stating that rape is acceptable, especially when the said channel is believed to viewed by religious nutters who would likely and stupidly take the statement to be lawful and\or morale.
The rules are all screwed up with some being taken ridiculously seriously and others not dealt with anywhere near harshly enough!
As for comments pertaining to how the management treat the staff and performers at some of the stations, I'm no expert and have no inside knowlede but I don't believe for a minute that some, if not all of the girls at Babestation and Elite would take any shit from their producers etc. and so can't see how they would ever get into a state that it appears Bang became.
I just hope for the sake of the girls that the other channels do watch their step and don't end up the same as Bang and that those channels that take on the girls from Bang do their utmost to both make them welcome and also ensure they stick to performing in a way that won't bring the channels down.
