"Sex Station" is a British pornographic television programme, a televised sex line broadcast nightly on Lucky Star (Sky Digital EPG ch 910) but owned by the company Live XXX.

History

"LiveXXX" was previously a channel in Sky's Adult section, which ran free-to-air for up to 2½ hours (9pm-11.30pm) before becoming encrypted. After this, live lesbian hardcore content would be screened for subscribing viewers.

Gradually (between March and June 2006), "LiveXXX" became "Sex Station", and moved from channel no 995 to 943 (possibly on 28 February 2006, the same day Babestation was moved). By July 2006, "LiveXXX" had been removed from ch 943 [ [http://www.melonfarmers.co.uk/arsssa06.htm Melon Farmers, news 2006] Retrieved 12 July 2007] . In late 2006 the "Sex Station" brand was expanded with the 'sister programme' "XXX 4 U" on You TV 2 (ch 913) and You TV 2 Extra (ch 914), but these closed in 2007. Normally these would include presenters from "Sex Station" (or the same feed).

Format

:"See also: Televised sex line."

"Sex Station" is a free-to-air programme that runs from 9pm-aprox 5.30am each night; viewers are encouraged to call a premium-rate telephone number and have a sexually-explicit conversation with a female presenter on-screen - these are not usually heard by the viewers. Viewers may also send text messages and camera phone pictures of themselves.

In general, the presenters of "LiveXXX" remained on "Sex Station"; the only major change was the name and the explicitness of the content. At first, "Sex Station"'s studio was red and black (like its logo, "see photo below"), with a television behind the presenters and the girls sitting on a red plastic/rubber cover, but the studio was changed around July 2006.

Presenters

These presenters are mainly porn stars or glamour models; two or three usually sit on the same bed taking calls (differing slightly from "Babestation"). They are also sometimes seen with dildos, masturbating (sometimes performing sexual acts with each other) or doing a pre-recorded or live striptease if enough viewers send text messages.

Girls appearing on "Sex Station" have included Alicia Rhodes, Natalie Heck (Savannah Gold), Rebecca Smythe, Poppy Morgan, Lymara (now known as Isis Asphyxia [ [http://www.isisasphyxia.moonfruit.com/#/experience/4517543886 Isis Asphyxia: Biography] accessed 18 Sep 2008] ), Cathy Barry, Bobbi Eden Lyka Lopez and Danielle Mannaken [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1166155/] .

Music

The programme contains more recognisable original music than most televised sex lines, with songs such as "Sex (Show Us What You Got, Girl)" and "Your Lips" among the songs played in the background when there is no dialogue.

Internet

The official website, www.sexstationtv.com, was redesigned in 2007 to include photo galleries and video of "Sex Station"'s presenters, as well as a webcam section (these are all only for subscribers).

"Sex Station" also has a channel of free video content (under the name "XXX4U") on Sumo.tv.

"Sex Station" has also launched a [http://www.sexstationtv.com/tvstream.php live 'hardcore' web show] , currently showing 7 days a week between 11:00 and 20:30, since June 2008

The company also launched their [http://vod.sexstationtv.com hardcore video on demand website] in June 2008

Porn Star Diaries

"Porn Star Diaries" was a one-off 30-minute documentary made by "Sex Station"'s producers in 2006, featuring interviews with three female porn stars including Nina Roberts and Bobbi Eden, who then did a lesbian softcore photoshoot together. The interviewees talked about their careers (how they began in porn) and the porn industry generally.

This was broadcast in a 3-hour block at nights on You TV (ch 146, now Sumo TV ch 879), alternating with "Babestation"'s "Meet the Babes". A re-edited version of [http://www.sumo.tv/watch.php?video=258405 Bobbi Eden's interview] was made available on www.sumo.tv.
