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]

So, herein may lie the problem?

The channel states that, despite the attention from Ofcon, they are still making a profit.

Man up, BS and fight those twats from Ofcon.

Babestation Xtreme is not regulated by Ofcom so doesn't have to fight them
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

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.

Why don't the other call channels ask for the same license that why they can tell Ofcom to go Fuck Them Selfs

So, why don't they show full-on penetration then?
They are still frightened of Ofcon.

I'm not to clued up on all the exact rules and regulations , but penetration or R18 cert stuff is not allowed on UK tv , i think it has been mentioned that it was Jack Straw the home Secretary at the time that prevented R18 material from being shown on encrypted UK tv and not Ofcom , so i think but not sure even channels with a Dutch licence still have to abide by what the UK government thinks is suitable for UK tv , to be honest the more a look into what channels unregulated by Ofcom can show the more confused i get , but if by some miracle penetration was shown on BS Xtreme they wouldn't be allowed to advertise it on their unencrypted tv channels , so there would be no point in having a show on tv that you are not allowed to even mention or advertise , this is why Cellcast never advertise or even mention the Sexstation web show on tv because it does show penetration . but i think your right "blackjaques" Cellcast are still wary of Ofcom even if they are not regulated by them on their BS Xtreme channel .

Indeed. It just goes to show that, even if you have a Dutch licence, all it is good for is a little bit more titillation that what a UK licence gives you.

Ofcon rule and that will remain until the channels grow a pair of ballls.

I have just had a thought , we know BS Xtreme has been tamed down and scenes cut from how they were originally shown on the channel when it first started , Ofcom have been mentioned as a possible reason , but seeing that Ofcom themselves state that they do not regulate the BS channels that have a Dutch licence then this may not be all the answer , Ofcom do regulate freeview CH 94 and Sky Ch 910 , both channels are used to advertise Xtreme , so did Ofcom deem the content on Xtreme to be to explicit for what can be advertised on Ofcom regulated free to air tv ? , so the content of the channel that is unregulated by Ofcom had to be cut and made soft enough so that the channel could be advertised on unencrypted Ofcom regulated UK TV .

If BS Extreme has toned down its output, then there is only one reason for that; Ofcon.

They do not want explicit sex on UK TV.

I was under the impression that Ofcom made a complete reappraisal of the regs when they came into existence, by which time Jack Straw was no longer Home Secretary.

The biggest objectors to the broadcasting of R18 were the R18 producers themselves.

Not according to Ofcom. During the Participation TV Consultation they stated that the only Freeview babe channel they regulated was Partyland on FV 97. That licence has since lapsed and been replaced by a new and more permissive one, but Xtreme has never been advertised on FV 97 under either licence.

On a different subject to recent posts, did anyone else suffer bad screen/video corruption for the last 12 minutes of the single Naked Babestation show last night (with Geri). Looks like the problem was at source and not just my signal reception as the OSGs weren't working for abit irrespective to the main video. Anyway, the short of it is that I missed some of Geri
