Fans of technical problems should be watching Looser Women Live on Loaded TV right now. They have already gone off air once (and went to a menu, presentation fans) and are currently broadcasting at 0.2 FPS.

Loaded TV are having problems with the live boxing this evening. It was meant to start at 21:30 but has still not appeared. After a lengthy look at the menu of what else is on tonight, they put a recorded boxing programme on with a caption at the bottom of the screen, "Live boxing from Sunderland follows shortly".

Sadly, although Loaded TV seems to have more staff on duty than your average automated playout channel, they do not have live continuity.

It will be interesting to see what they do about the 01:30 repeat tonight.

And the fault still hasn't been rectified. Which leads to two questions. The first was asked by the poster above, about the repeat.

The second though, is will the fight that was scheduled to be shown live go ahead regardless of the lack of tv coverage?

Looks like the fight did/is still going ahead. We joined it a couple of minutes ago part way through Round 4. Sounds like the programme was still being produced, we joined the commentator mid-sentence so perhaps the repeat will be the full programme.

Here is an interesting bit from Looser Women Live this evening, they were just having a friendly libellous conversation about Katie Price and then they all suddenly started speaking Russian.

I have presented the video here in 16:9, although it was actually broadcast in 4:3.

This channel still fascinates me. We already know from various technical problems in the past that the channel is not like one of the the automated channels you might typically find on the Sky EPG. There is someone controlling the channel live, at least some of the time, and they have the ability to take control of the channel if a feed fails and either show alternative programmes or go back to the programme menu. Today, we learnt that they also have someone ready to remove any legally dubious content (they obviously missed on this occasion, although maybe they removed something much worse than we got to hear).

The programme is repeated at 02:00. It will be interesting to see if it is edited any further from the earlier showing. According to Ask Jeeves, babies don't actually live in the woman's stomach, unless the woman eats so many drugs that she swallows a baby. There are no recorded cases of this happening.

It appears that the audio was reversed in sections (so even if reversed, the audio doesn't make a massive amount of sense). Having reversed the audio myself, I think they've left in the most problematic part of that conversation.

Well, this may have been slightly over the top.

I still find it interesting that someone with the ability to edit the programme was there on a Sunday night after 23:00 and managed to get the programme edited before it's 02:00 repeat. You can't even say that about some of the more mainstream channels.

If I had seen that suddenly happen at 2am I would certainly not have been able to get to sleep. Quite a haunting edit.

Such a bizarre channel. Why on earth is a lads mag channel broadcasting such a programme? The content is exactly the opposite of what the male audience you'd assume they're aiming for would want to hear.

It doesn't make a lot of sense, the money would be better spent on a proper 'lads' programme, perhaps a non-sport specific Soccer AM type programme.

Looser Women makes the sexist programme on ITV seem a class act in comparison.

It seems to me to be essentially a hobby for Paul Chaplin. It gives him an excuse to be around women and pretend he's a real-deal media tycoon/personality. It'll last until he's bored of it.

Dear me that Sophie Anderton's a mess....
