Chatback - why did it fail...

Where others have succeeded?

Okay, so it had its critics and to some it was the worst of the bunch, but I don't think it was that bad. It offered some of the best dayshows around (I shudder to think how far they'd have gone in the current, seemingly relaxed climate) and the nightshows even more so, especially when Juliett and/or Laura Michaels were on, but fail it did. Of course their frequent recorded loops weren't exactly productive, but I don't really see where they went wrong.

They put the show on when it suited them and not their customers.
They had a website which nobody ever replied to questions.
They had Superspurs.

Their main problem was not being properly organised and sometimes not being able to put a show on through lack of girls. If you're not broadcasting every day it's much harder to build a regular audience, plus every day that you can't put a show on you miss out on a lot of casual callers, so you're losing revenue all the time. There was also a big issue about their broadcasting licence, as apparently they didn't have the correct licence to broadcast a babe show.

I'm not sure that they ever had a website. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was a project of April's rather than being anything official.

How cute.com is described as the internet site for staff and friends of the sky channel 960.

The website is owned by tvml limited/Hi2 Ltd. Ie David Wainwright.
You can try and contact him to confirm what April has had to do with the site. His email contact is david.wainwright@hi2.com

DW is the genius behind most the the mindless, and failed, TV gameshows over the last few years. Think mindless low quality TV, Think phone in @ £1.50 min, Think game you cannot win, Think cheated, Think DW.

BTW, Some of the staff who worked on the shows Think Cheated also.

In fact April had nothing to do with the site or the management of the channel (although the channel was so poorly managed I'd have believed she was MD!).

Wainwright thought it was a clever idea to impersonate April on Howcute and post as her - this was while she was working at the channel and completely unaware of it lol.

I was just browsing the Bedroom TV website to see what else this idiot is planning and bizarrely he's inviting people to his house!

Quote:

I am planning a BedroomTV Live Event at my house in Oxford August the 8th. It is a bit of fun, will have a few competitions on the night.

I have a big garden so you can bring a tent or a sleeping bag and mattress and sleep in a barn - or there are local B&B's

Feel free to bring a camera and film a video on the day. We have a swimming pool so bring your Bikini or Speedos!

Would be great to meet you all.

Message me if you are interested and I will send you the address!

We (Bedroom TV) are not close to returning to TV (in the UK) - have interest in other countries. But It will return to SKY one day - I promise!

Anyhow pls let me know if you can make it and any ideas you might have for the Live event!
End quote.

I guess his audience is now so small it's more cost effective to entertain them in his back garden than run a satellite channel!

BECAUSE IT WAS SERIOUSLY FUCKING SHITE! It didn't help that they were run by a bunch of complete twats who didn't have a fucking clue what they were doing.

Digital Dave:

Thanks for the info.

I have copied his message and sent it to the Oxford chapter of the Hells Angels and changed the header from:
"BedroomTV Live Event at my house in Oxford August the 8th."
to:
"All Bikers are pussys and wankers Live Event at my house in Oxford August the 8th."

Excellent idea! Just to help out, I've also emailed his message to Emily, changing the header to "Your tattoos are shite and you're on Elite TV far too often. Live event at my house in Oxford August the 8th".

I hope he appreciates all the help we're giving him.
