Fair point, but it doesn't live up to. ( The channels had broadcast content so strong that it would be considered equivalent to BBFC R18 rated material. )

It's probably to do with the full on no panties pussy rubbing

so no fernanda nights next month.....

Sad that a vagina is considered extreme on an adult channel, yet we can see more explicit content on the non adult channels.

I bet Offcom is happy with the money they are making.

So she was actually planning on cracking those bad boys out, eh?

she said so herself on thread pad discussion thread

Here's the report from the BBC website:

Quote:Adult TV channels become first to lose licences Ofcom said more than 60 breaches had been recorded in the past 18 months.

Four channels broadcasting adult content have become the first to have their licences revoked by regulator Ofcom for not being "fit and proper".

Tease Me, Tease Me TV and Tease Me 2 and 3 all promoted adult chat which was broadcast free to air.

Ofcom said the channels repeatedly breached rules which protect children from inappropriate material and viewers from harmful and offensive content.

More than 60 rule breaches had been recorded in the past 18 months.

"We simply will not tolerate serious and repeated breaches of the Code and have therefore decided to revoke these licences," said Ofcom's director of standards, Chris Banatvala.

"Audiences should be assured that we will continue to take action to stop broadcasters breaching the rules in this area."

The channels - owned by Bang Channels Limited and Bang Media Limited - featured female presenters who encouraged viewers to contact them via premium rate telephone numbers.

But according to broadcasting rules, channels are not permitted to promote adult chat services during the daytime and the material must be suitable for a pre-watershed audience.

Ofcom added that the licence holders had transmitted content over a sustained period of time that was too sexually explicit for the time of day or for unencrypted broadcast.

It noted some of the material broadcast was so strong it would be considered equivalent to hardcore material which is not permitted on British TV either free-to-air or under encryption.

In July 2010 Ofcom fined the two companies £157,250 for serious breaches of the Broadcasting Code and other licence conditions.

The regulator said it now plans to meet all licensees that broadcast adult content to ensure they are "quite clear how seriously Ofcom takes its duties in relation to the protection of television audiences and in particular children".

so will bangbabes not broadcast anymore?

I would love to know from ofcom what strong content bang media have been showing as to me its been no different to the other chanels out there and its hardly been hardcore unless am missing something here. Once again ofcom have gone off on one again.
