There are channels waiting in the wings for any sign of weakness from the censures, they have the content and are ready.
In some cases it will be cheaper for them as now they have to cut their SHOTS so to speak in order to stay within the guidelines at present. These are by and large, well run channels, and very good at what they do, they have been on the SKY platform for a long time. Some of the newer additions to the SKY platform may not be well run and here in lies the dilemma for the regulators ( can they open the flood gates with these channels around ), the answer = NO.
Then there is the unknown quantity….The Friendly TV’s ( Babecast ) of this world, channels like this have been pushing the limits for some time now. What would these channels do if the shackles where loosened, I for one hope things stay as they are and no hardcore is allowed on home TV.
There are places to go if one wants HC, those who really want it will find it, and those who do not, will never see it even by accident. |
