What a fabulously striking image to open the post. It\u2019s\u00a0Mistress\u00a0Yvette<\/strong>\u00a0introducing a hardcore\u00a0Party Girls\u00a0domination section, but most unusually, on the set of daytime show\u00a0The Chat<\/a>. The Chat was situated right beside Party Girls in the same studio, but this is the only time I\u2019m aware of when Party Girls actually invaded the daytime set, with its distinctive white, as opposed to black background, for live transmission. I think Party Girls did subsequently borrow The Chat\u2019s 3G desk for a night when it first arrived, but they only used it on their own set.<\/p>\n Even though Yvette is in a crushingly tough mood and clearly dressed and minded to intimidate in this pic, she looks very attractive. I\u2019ve always loved facial close-ups from the babe channels, but, even though I\u2019m not exactly sure why, the appeal of this one is, for me, hard to beat. On this night (20th to 21st January 2009), Yvette and Dani O’Neal broke the Party Girls record for text requests sent to the show by viewers. As far as I\u2019m aware, the record was never beaten. There\u2019s more domination and more of Yvette in the\u00a0Babeshow Mistresses<\/a>\u00a0post.<\/p>\n REEDE IN SEXSTATION\u2019S ARCHAIC LIFT ON PARTYLAND<\/strong><\/p>\n The positively ancient lift at the old Sexstation studios was extensively used for shooting download photographs of the Partyland<\/a> babes, but I waited a long time to get a recording of an actual live section shot in there. The opportunity finally came just over three months into\u00a0the Partyland series\u00a0on a very warm but wet Friday 26th June 2009, and as far as I know this was the only time the setting was used on Freeview. They started by shooting the approach and entry to the lift, which in itself was fascinating. The model was of course\u00a0Reede Fox, and what an aesthetic explosion the sequence was, with an amazingly dark and Gothic atmosphere that perfectly suited Reede\u2019s image.<\/p>\n EARLY BS XTRA RARITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n To clarify the history<\/a> (brace yourself),\u00a0the original, text only version of BS Xtra lasted just seven nights, from 27-28 Oct \u201909 to 2-3 Nov \u201909. The original show (depicted for reference beneath the main image on the left) did have a phone number on screen, but the number only accessed the other three BS babe channels<\/a> (all streamed live to insets on the right of the screen), via options 1, 2 or 3. The \u2018unusual\u2019 factor in the small pic bottom left is provided by the two BS producers shifting a motorbike in the first inset, whilst Reede Fox presents. These normally concealed sequences were seen by viewers because the changeover slideshows could not be implemented on the mini streams.<\/p>\n The second version of BS Xtra (shown for reference beneath the main pic, on the right) was essentially a standard phone chat night show with a small amount of\u00a0text chat added in. The second version thus did have a direct contact number, and it too lasted just a week, until 9-10 Nov. The small pic of Geri on this babeshow is also unusual, as Geri was at this time a backstage voice over presenter\u00a0and had only gone onscreen to take calls as a one-off due to a chronic staff shortage. The phone number in use here is different from that in the original version \u2013 it\u2019s actually the one which had previously been used on the\u00a0Party Girls\u00a0revival show.<\/p>\n Then, on the night of 10th to 11th November 2009, BS Xtra Mk.III was launched. That\u2019s the version in the main pic above. Whilst, like the original version of the show, Mk.III was text only, it didn\u2019t feature any telephone contact number, and instead it just said TEXT THE SHOW! where the number would have been positioned in the graphics. Note also that on the right of the screen, the original show\u2019s BS1, BS2 and Partyland live streaming insets have been replaced by one live overseas 3G stream, and regular BS adverts from the time. BS Xtra Mk.III lasted a whopping three weeks until 1st December 2009, at which point the direct phone number was re-introduced and the show moved into a four-month phase during which texting was progressively eliminated.<\/p>\n Even within the basic versions Mk.1, Mk.II and Mk.III there were subdivisions with small updates to the graphics. Mk.IV (1st to 2nd December 2009) is seen above left \u2013 looking different again, with\u00a0Dionne Mendez<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Alex Adams presenting, and a full-sidebar messaging promo on the right of the screen. This design was updated after literally one night! The following night\u2019s show (2nd to 3rd December) is seen above right. The calls-and-presenting-on-the-same-couch situation went on until around Christmas 2009 (producing some hilarious moments), after which Xtra became much more of a regular phone chat show, often\u00a0naked\u00a0or\u00a0girl on girl. The screen design had, by then, settled into something looking very much like Mk.II, with a pop-up text box in the graphics for use as and when.<\/p>\n DIONNE HANGS A BRA ON HER NIPPLES<\/strong><\/p>\n (PIC UNAVAILABLE)<\/p>\n Just so no one overdoses on the historical nerd facts, here\u2019s a rather more obvious unusual pic.\u00a0Dionne Mendez, on Bang Babes in 2010, using her nipples as an impromptu bra-hanger.<\/p>\n MISCELLANEOUS MOMENTS OF NOTE<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the length of the post in danger of spiralling out of control, here\u2019s a compilation of quickies\u2026\u00a0Top left:<\/strong>\u00a0Jemma Buckley\u00a0presenting Channel 37\u2019s \u2018dating\u2019 ad, which appeared regularly in the Party People interval at around 05:29 during the late noughties. The choice of Jemma B for this ad was interesting as she wasn\u2019t a babeshow babe \u2013 she was a presenter on Cellcast\u2019s \u2018psychic\u2019 programmes.\u00a0Top right:<\/strong>\u00a0Bambi flashing her legs beside Charlie McDonagh on\u00a0The Chat. The Chat protested that it wasn\u2019t a babeshow, but there were regular moments of surreptitious sexuality. Examples as blatant as this were unusual though.\u00a0Bottom left:<\/strong>\u00a0Freeview sections shot in a toilet have, unsurprisingly, been most uncommon. This rare example, from the Party Girls revival series, features\u00a0Lori Buckby<\/a>.\u00a0Bottom right:<\/strong> one of the old New Year party scenes, with all the shows shut down and all the night\u2019s Babestation girls on screen together. It\u2019s midnight 2009-2010 and the girls are: Camilla Jayne,\u00a0Dionne Mendez,\u00a0Paige Tyler,\u00a0Reede Fox,\u00a0Dani O\u2019Neal<\/a>,\u00a0VO girl Jodie Cox, and\u00a0Daryl Morgan.<\/p>\n ASIAN CONNECTIONS ON FREEVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n Asian Connections<\/strong>\u00a0is unusual in that it\u2019s broadcast on terrestrial UK television, but not transmitted from the UK. It\u2019s a real Asian programme, transmitted from Thailand and featuring genuine Asian babes. It went live on Freeview from April 2014, staggered across two channels, as follows\u2026<\/p>\n Channel 176 (Blue): 04:00 to 05:00 Despite some of Asian Connections\u2019 Freeview transmission falling into night show hours in the UK, this period is the middle of the day in the show\u2019s home country, and the content is strictly daytime compatible. That includes the phone conversation and the \u2018text chat\u2019. In the pic above, you can see Anne (left) and Nadia, on 19th April 2014 \u2013 shortly after the series went live on Freeview. [UPDATE, October 2014: As part of a full graphics makeover, the original terms have now been substiituted for non-specific terms, which no longer stress that the chat is \u2018daytime\u2019 only. Accordingly, I can no longer say what the status of the chat is. \u201cLive From Thailand\u201d has also been removed from the screen display<\/i>.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An old blog, dug up from @Babe_TV’s now defunct Tumblr account.\u00a0 Some of the pics they allude to may not exist anymore but we hope you’ll get a twinge of nostalgia for the old days of Babestation and the old babeshows.

The main pic above is another featuring Yvette (left), but this time she\u2019s with\u00a0Paige Tyler\u00a0on an early episode of BS Xtra. What\u2019s unusual about this? Well, if you only\u00a0watch<\/em>\u00a0babeshows<\/a> it might take you a little while to notice. But if you actually call them you\u2019ll know straight away. That\u2019s the clue\u2026 Yes, the main pic comes from the extremely short period during which BS Xtra had no telephone number. I\u2019ve covered\u00a0the very first BS Xtra broadcasts<\/a>\u00a0aleady, but I haven\u2019t yet properly documented the \u2018re-launched\u2019 version of the text only show which is depicted here. This was the only babeshow broadcast on Freeview to deliberately omit a telephone number from the graphics throughout the whole programme.<\/p>\n
\nChannel 177 (Babestation): 05:00 to 06:00.<\/p>\n
