Channel 69 is a VIP Network site that offers access to a total of 9+ sites for one rather pricy fee of about $35 bucks per month. You'll find a variety of niche-based sites like: BBW, mature, hairy, busty, body builders, big clits and more. Unfortunately the Network tour does a better job at cataloguing the girls and which site they're a part of then the actual member's area does, but if you've got a real hankering for BBW's, old chicks and body builders, Channel 69 does seem to focus on all your different body types.
The Good:
- Obviously it's always nice to have access to more than 1 site. And with a total of 9+ sites offered here, members will get an overall good variety of models to check out. I especially thought that the body building site was unique, and in general, the exclusive niche specific content here will be appreciated by some.
- All 9+ sites offer a clean and simple site design which is standard throughout. Updates are clearly marked on the sites and on average you can expect about 2 updates per month on each.
The Bad:
- Quality is only average. Images are mostly sharp and clear, but they could definitely stand to be larger in size. At best, the videos only stream as high as 500k, and in general, user/download options could definitely be enhanced as well.
- Once you enter an individual site member's area, it's not easy to get back to the main Network hub that links to all of the other sites. In general I found the design to be overly simple and lacking the navigation necessary for a Network site.
- Most sites only update 1-2 times per month. Granted you get access to a total of 9+ sites with your membership here, but seeing that the price point is set at a very expensive $34.95 per month, I think one would expect a lot more. I know I do.
The Conclusion:
Channel 69 is a clean Network offering exclusive content and covering a unique selection of special niches. Unfortunately, they don't do the best job at delivering it. The price is set way too high for a small Network that doesn't update any of its sites very often, and is lacking when it comes to quality. For the time being I'd skip out on this one and hope that the future of the Network entails higher quality content, more updates and a smaller price tag.

Review: 10-31-07 |
I was hoping that we started off on the wrong foot with this rather pricey Network of sites, and hopefully I was, especially when I saw that they had added a whole new site bringing their grand total up to 10+ (the new site is Lesbian Mature 69). Unfortunately that seems to be all that's new as none up the much needed features or quality improvements have been made, although I was somewhat pleased with the picture quality considering the low 500k streams). Maybe I'm being too hard on them? But before I could recommend a $34.95 join, some sort of improvements need to be made all around. Maybe next time?
Score increased from 73.5 to 75.5.
