Playboy One was a free-to-air satellite television channel in the United Kingdom, and was the only permanently free-to-air television station operated by Playboy Enterprises. The channel launched in November 2005, and was described as a general male entertainment channel with a lower LCN, placing it in the Entertainment section of the Sky EPG, as opposed to Specialist where its sister channel lies. However, after the 9 PM watershed the channel would show some erotic programming, including Playboy's Babes, Sexcetera and Red Shoe Diaries. By 2006, a newly-added "Adult" category was added to the EPG, and so the channel moved there. The channel aimed to attract men to the pay-per-view Playboy TV, operating on the same satellite service. Despite a low profile, it steadily increased its ratings. As of the week ending 7 January 2007, BARB were quoting a weekly reach of 1,122,000 (2.5%) In October 2008, the channel was replaced with a Paul Raymond-focused channel named Paul Raymond TV, and became encrypted.
