Ofcom revokes 3 UK licences

The operators of adult TV services ‘Babeworld’ and ‘House of Fun’ plus ‘The Other Side’ have all had their broadcasting licences revoked by UK regulator Ofcom.

Ofcom’s ruling states: “In the course of correspondence and meetings with Ofcom, statements made by Babeworld Television Limited, House of Fun Television Limited and Forenzquick UK Limited about the operation of the Licensed Services failed to satisfy Ofcom that these Licensees had general control over which programmes and other services were comprised in the Service. Ofcom therefore concluded that Babeworld Television Limited, House of Fun Television Limited and Forenzquick UK Limited were not the “providers” of the Licensed Services and that, accordingly, it was appropriate to revoke the [licences].
