History
Launched2006

Babeworld was a British adult chat television broadcaster on Sky (UK & Ireland) from 2006 until 2011.[4] Both the channel and programme were named Babeworld.

It launched on Sky on 2 March 2006,[4] replacing the revived version of L!VE TV. In 2007 and 2008, it was also responsible for the channel House of Fun TV,[5][6] later renamed Babeworld XXXTRA (Babeworld TV Extra) which replaced it on the Sky EPG in mid-2008.[7] The two channels' numbers on the EPG were 909 and 962 (in 2007),[5] then 908 and 949 (in 2008),[6][7] and 908 and 952 (in 2010).[8]

In 2010, the channels were taken over by Bluebird TV,[9][10] which went on to become a large adult content producer.[11] Because the Babeworld TV Limited company was no longer deemed to have "general control" over its broadcasts, the main Babeworld channel closed on 22 October 2011, two days prior to Ofcom publishing a notice of revocation for its broadcast licence.[12]
