On Freeview, Partyland started out topless from day one, but is right next to the kids’ channels. On the other hand, Party People and Babestation 1 are next to the block of subscription channels (on Freeview!) which, as kids are unable to take out subscriptions, could be argued to be ‘adult’ channels.
actually i don't think theres anyway the adult channels on sky can be near the kids channels. if you go into the sky epg the adult section is on the 2nd page, the kids is on the first page, unless you enter the channel number, the only other way to get to the adult channels is scrolling thru 1 by 1 and since the kids channels are 600 and the adult channel are 900, its safe to say the adult channels are as seperate as possible, whereas i don't think the same can be said on freeview.

Right there IMO it's saying that Sky has an 'adult section' which can be used as justification for transmitting more adult content, though it didn't work in that particular case.
But a few posts back it was pointed out that this ‘adult section’ only applies to one method of accessing the channels and that by other methods adult channels can be very close to kids’ channels.
But they are toned down - it's not the same content once Freeview is involved.
I'm just pointing out that on Sky there is a justification for slightly more adult content, and that ofcom recognises this because they make numerous references to the 'adult section' in their published decisions. Freeview doesn't have anything like an "adult section". The best you can do is to try not to be next to Cebeebies and for goodness sake don't call yourself something that sounds like a kids programme ... like errrr Partyland
But that isn't as good a separation as you get on Sky, so perhaps producers on Freeview need to be more cautious because they know they will have a harder time justifying themselves should there be a complaint.
None of these channels are flavour of the month with ofcom and there are occasional threats to "crack down", or make things impossible for them. Wasn't there some threat to redesignate them as shopping channels so they'd come under stricter rules last year? Something like that ... I forget ... but maybe knowing the current climate with ofcom Cellcast have decided now is not the time to annoy them. All speculation of course
Edit: just read shandyman's post and think I misunderstood the point you were making. Soz

RE: Babestation on Freeview channel 33
on a dionne comment
did anyone else catch dionne's response to a text from shandyman...he asked if the oil will be getting used during the show
dionne's response was well not every one likes oil...really who does not like to see a girl's breast's covered in oil
back to the thread
my main point is the difference in how great a picture there is on 909 compared to 906
906 is channel 33..so they must be using the same equipment on both channels
so maybe something to do with the processing
