Just watching an episode of 'The Pitch' - surprised to hear f**k, t**t & b*****d in a programme airing at 7pm on a Saturday evening...

Does anyone know if anything has actually ever come from people who've pitched ideas that were 'pitched' by all the judges?

They get a Niceday Berlin chair to match the judges', or the equivalent value in vouchers to spend in the Viking catalogue.

Loaded TV is currently off air. As are the Bluebird channels higher up the EPG.

This is the most exciting thing to happen to this channel in weeks.

If it's Controversial TV rather than Loaded TV, then the exact same thing happened in 2010 for an extended period. Arqiva were blamed, from memory.

Yes. Here is the thread.

Loaded TV's website isn't currently streaming the channel. The video just doesn't load. It does seem to only be Loaded TV off air now. The adult channels are back. No update on Loaded TV's twitter feed either. This channel has really gone down hill fast.

I've worked for a channel that had a very similar Arqiva 'generic' notice put out on air a couple of times (except it was on a blue background) and I can tell you it was due to non-payment.

How long can it carry on for, their BARB figures were pretty dire...

I might be wrong, but I think Loaded simply purchased airtime from EMTV ("Controversial TV"). Does seem weird that their webstream has gone down too though.

Loaded TV or Controversial TV has now been taken off the Sky EPG. The channel is still broadcasting the apology caption though. They have not tweeted in some time either. Could this be the end of the channel?

If this is the end of Loaded TV, it truly has been a dark day for broadcasting in Europe.

This all happened before. Someone, somewhere hasn't paid their bill.

This channel is broadcasting and back on the EPG again now. I am finding it difficult to care though. A look through the EPG shows a very bland schedule of third party programmes and repeats. Where did it all go wrong for Loaded TV?

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.
