Another thing to bear in mind is that the channels have never been fined for a pussy slip. There was the recent fine asscoicited with Jet Black “stimulating” her butt hole, even though it wsn’t fully visible on camera, but I guess that was because she was doing that for an extended period of time (about 7 or 8 minuites).
OFCOM’s major beef with the channels is that they break OFCOM codes relating to the promotion of PRS (Premium rate services i.e advertising £1.50 per min premium rate phone numbers)
This is what OFCOM said about Babestation after they fined them for advertising:
Quote:The Code prohibits the promotion of PRS in programmes unless a service contributes to the editorial content of the programme or meets the definition of PRM. (PROGRAM RELATED MATERIAL)
There was no evidence in the recordings supplied that the services contributed to the editorial content of the programme: no calls or text messages to off-air services were discussed within the programme nor were photos of viewers shown or discussed.
In relation to the services meeting the definition of PRM, guidance on PRM (published on Ofcom’s website), makes clear that:
“In considering whether or not a product or service is ‘programme-related’ under the Broadcasting Code, it is important to bear in mind the principles set out in Section Ten … Broadcasters must maintain the independence of editorial control over programme content, ensure that programmes are not distorted for commercial purposes and ensure that the advertising and programme elements of a service are kept separate. It is upon these principles that Rule 10.3, which prohibits the promotion of products and services within programmes, is based. Broadcasters should bear in mind that the promotion of ‘programme-related material’ is permitted purely by way of exception to that prohibition and therefore should in no way compromise the principle of separation between advertising and programmes.”
“Broadcasters should note that for material to qualify as programme-related material, it must not only be directly derived from a specific programme but also intended to allow listeners or viewers to benefit fully from, or interact with, that programme … similarity, in terms of genre or theme(s), between a programme and product/service … is not in itself sufficient to establish that the product/service is directly derived from the programme … in order for the material to be considered programme-related material and promoted accordingly, the broadcaster would need to be able to demonstrate to Ofcom’s satisfaction that the material in question was directly derived to a significant extent from each of those programmes.
“The focus of a programme must remain its editorial content, as opposed to any promotional messages for programme-related material. The programme must not be primarily a vehicle for promotion of the product or service. Rule 10.4 (no undue prominence) also applies.”
In Ofcom’s opinion, the level of promotion went beyond what was reasonably justified to inform viewers about the availability of the service and appeared to be commercially motivated.
I'm sorry but how do you have so much info about this stuff, Why don't you call them and tell them to take them off if it bothers you that much It's brand new year he he, relax and have fun x
"I'm sorry but how do you have so much info about this stuff"
The info comes from the OFCOM website.
"if girls wanna wear 2 pairs of knickers then so what, does this REALLY matter ?"
No, it doesn't really matter if a Girl wants to wear 2 pairs of panties.
What I was highlighting to members of this forum is that if a Girl wears 2 pairs of panties then that is either because of her own personal choice, or what the Station Bosses have asked her to do.
Which is perfectly fine.
However wearing an assortment of underwear is nothing to do with the dreaded OFCOM. An accidental "pussy slip" has never resulted in an OFCOM fine. The last time they issued a fine, which was to Cellcast (Blue Kiss) was last year for, as OFCOM words it:
“Shots in which a female pesenter appered to insert her fingers into her Anus several times and masturbate for a number of minutes”
Not an accidental pussy slip.
Why don't you call them and tell them to take them off if it bothers you that much
I do call! And that was the point that I was making: OFCOM's main problem is not with how many pairs of panties the Presenters wear, it is with the fact that the main focus of the "BabeShows" is advertising Premium rate Services: i.e 090 premium rate numbers.
OFCOM says:
ensure that programmes are not distorted for commercial purposes and ensure that the advertising and programme elements of a service are kept separate. And that was the reason for Babestation recieving their last fine.

Good advice! I know all of these issues are out of the hands of the Girls that work on these shows. But I think that it would be a good idea if the Bosses at Cellcast joined this forum. Then they could start to realise that the Fans of these shows would be willing to write and call OFCOM and offer support for the channels and the entertainment these shows provide.
An email to OFCOM offering support to one of the channels would counter an email of complaint.
Your Fans don't just offer negativity. We are here to help.
