Dear Mr Bains, Thank you for your response. Having checked again with our licencing team I can confirm that Esquire TV is not licenced by Ofcom. Therefore we are unable to assess any content which falls outside of Ofcomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remit and, as a result, we are unable to proceed with your complaint any further. I understand that this will be disappointing for you, however I would again like to thank you for contacting Ofcom. Yours sincerely, Greg Bianchi From: AJ [mailto:aj.s.b@icloud.com] Sent: 18 March 2015 16:06 To: Gregory Bianchi Subject: Re: Ofcom complaint 1-282280819
Dear Mr Bianchi I thought I would include a picture, I may look familiar:

Unfortunately, Ofcom is unable to assist you with your concerns. Ofcom can only consider complaints about unjust or unfair treatment or unwarranted infringement of privacy in relation to specific programmes (channel, date and time specific) which are broadcast on television channels licensed by Ofcom. It appears from your complaint that the programme you are complaining about was possibly broadcast on a US television channel i.e. Esquire TV, which is not licensed by Ofcom. Therefore, we cannot consider your complaint because we have no regulatory powers to do so. I appreciate that this will be disappointing to you, though I thank you for taking the time to contact us.
