LiveXXX was a channel in Sky's Adult section, which ran free-to-air for up to 2½ hours before becoming encrypted. Gradually, LiveXXX became Sex Station, and moved from channel number 995 to 943. By July 2006, LiveXXX had been removed from channel 943. In late 2006 Sex Station's sister programme XXX 4 U began on You TV 2 and You TV 2 Extra, but these closed in 2007. Normally these included presenters from Sex Station.
Format
Sex Station was a free-to-air programme that ran from 9p.m. to approximately 5:30a.m. each night. Viewers were encouraged to call a premium-rate telephone number and have a sexually-explicit conversation with a female presenter on-screen – these were not usually heard by the viewers. Viewers also sent 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, with a television behind the presenters and the women sitting on a red plastic/rubber cover, but in 2006 the studio was changed to include a new set and neon sign. Background music included "Sex " and "Your Lips".
Internet
By 2013, the only remaining Sex Station shows were online. 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. Sex Station also had a channel of free video content on Sumo TV. Since June 2008Sex Station has also produced a hardcore web show, 7 days a week between 11:00p.m. and 5:30a.m.. By February 2011, the running time had been expanded to a 24-hour continual broadcast, on Rampant.tv, where there were three Sex Station streams in December 2013.
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 and the porn industry generally. This was broadcast in a 3-hour block at nights on You TV, alternating with Babestation'sMeet the Babes.
