How to fix Asian Babes

I'm no expert when it comes to running babeshows, but I am a viewer who knows what he likes to see and how he likes to see it. Therefore, and considering the Hofmiester admitted in a recent thread that he suspected Asian Babes is still losing money, I thought I'd offer some input.

Picture quality aside - as this can only be sorted by pumping money into the venture - there are many areas where you're going wrong, in my opinion.

The OSG
There's nothing more frustrating that having your favourite part of a girl obscured by a big ugly graphic - and this happens all the time on Asian Babes. Simplify the information and make it transparent.

Cameras
A slightly loftier position would be favourable, so that the girls' faces aren't hidden by their feet whenever they lie down. It would also allow for more intimate zooms.

Content
It appears to me, that the Asian babes have not been fully breifed regarding what they can and can't do, and have been told only the very basic 'do's and don'ts'. As a consequence, they stay well away from even a suggestion of boundary pushing. Send them some recordings of shows like Elite and Bangbabes, and let them see for themselves what the girls on these channels are getting up to. Encourage some daring and tell them they don't have to be quite so careful about what they do.

The dayshow is much the same, and it always amazes me that makers of such shows never look elsewhere for inspiration and ideas. Whilst most of the other dayshows seem to have a constant stream of callers, the Asian Babes seem to be forever waving their phones at the camera. Why do you think that is? While the other channels offer very scantily clad ladies, draping themselevs over beds and couches with various bits of their appendage threatening (and often succeeding) to fall out, the Asian Babes sit bolt upright on a couch, fully clothed with thier legs permantley crossed. Now okay, we are talking dayshows here, but we can all see the game the other channels are playing.

Just some thoughts. Take them or leave them. No charge

What about the fact that the camera quality is complete shit....

Covered in my second paragraph.

I sense you have no interest in Asian Babes, steve6660, which kind of defeats my object. Whereas I quite like the channel and would like to see it improve.

Let me try and address ome of these issues for you:-

The OSG

We have changed the graphics for somthing more simple - have a look and tell me what you think. I always welcome comments about graphics. It should be noted that the number of calls these stations get is directly proportional to the size of the number - I'v learnt that in the last few years since I gave you the first ever babeshow (Prize to whoever can remember the name of the show.. Yes it was before Babestation)... I'v been doing this a long time now.


Cameras

OK the cammeras are currently both at 26" from the floor - I will be back out in Thialand very soon, hopefully with a third camera, and we will get it up nice and high. But now you mention it I totaly Agree

This is the good old OFCOM issue, we (along with every other channel) dont have a blithering clue what the girls can and cant do, it all depends on what the OFCOM case worker thinks on the day he's reviewing a show. We decided to keep Asian Babes safe for now, its hard enough trying to interpret the rules for the UK girls, let alone get that information to Thailand and explaine it to the Girls on an almost daily basis. You will just have to live with the fact that we would like to keep our licence and still be around in a year - It seems a very little know fact that OFCOM nearly shut ALL the channels down earlier this year

Day Shows
The dayshow is much the same, and it always amazes me that makers of such shows never look elsewhere for inspiration and ideas. Whilst most of the other dayshows seem to have a constant stream of callers, the Asian Babes seem to be forever waving their phones at the camera. Why do you think that is? While the other channels offer very scantily clad ladies, draping themselevs over beds and couches with various bits of their appendage threatening (and often succeeding) to fall out, the Asian Babes sit bolt upright on a couch, fully clothed with thier legs permantley crossed. Now okay, we are talking dayshows here, but we can all see the game the other channels are playing.

Belive it or NOT since we sexed up "Chat Lounge" a bit we have had LOTS of complaints from viewers that they dont actualy want this. Have you ever considerd that SOME callers to the day shows actualy want to talk to the girls and not just use it as daytime masturbation material. Lets keep the night times to the erotic and the daytimes to the rational.

More Camera
What about the fact that the camera quality is complete shit....

Well thats not quiet true - The camera's are £5000 Sony Broadcast Heads, and have supurb qulaity. The problem is in the system we are using to get the signal the 6500miles back to the UK in less than a quater of a second. Now to give you an idea of what we have actualy achieved here - a 'Commercial TV link' from Thialand was quoted to us at £120 per hour!!! The system WE designed costs about £1.20p per hour to run. Yes it has a few problems, but we have an inhouse team improving the qulaity - and you should soon see the channel delivering the same qulaity image as if it was in the UK.

Thanks very much for addressing points so thouroughly, Hof. You see, people, constructive critisism can and does yeild results from time to time. Now onto your replies.

Great news, but I'm not hoping for ceiling cams here.

I must pull you up on this one, Hof. Ofcom don't have the power to do that. Not in such simple terms, at least.

Oh, the fucking weirdos, you mean? Anyway, I'd still like to see you 'sex up' the dayshow.

Well we spent close to £250,000 on lawyers and a QC fighting them. I can assure you it was VERY real. How they were going to do it was re-clasify us as home shopping channels. We would have then become under the durisdiction of the Advertising Standards Authority who prohibit the promotion of any sexual entertainment service on TV. At the moment we are not clasified as an Advertisment - the 0906 numbers are classed as Editorial Programme Related services. As soon as we fell under the ASA rules OFCOM then had the power to pull the plug on us.

Well I'm not going to argue any of those points, and it does make for worrying reading, but 're-classify you as home shopping channels' on what grounds? What are they suggesting you're selling? It can't be sex, as shopping channels prohibit this, so how could they re-classify you as such?

So what does the future hold then? Are Ofcom now gunning for you with another tactic?

thats y it does my head in when channels like bb and elite keep pushing the boundaries jeapordising it for all. porn can be found elsewhere. we need to keep what we have.

But it's thanks to channels like BB and Elite that we once again have shows worth watching. And they should go further still in my opinion.

What you're suggesting, dragonking, is that we have 20+ channels of bored looking girls lying about picking their fingernails. Whoopeee!!

I would just rather have the channels and b fair stan, the babes can still make the shows watchable without breaking the guidelines. i hate ofcom but dont want the 900 channels to go.
