    What Was HabboxTV?

    HabboxTV was a department set up in 2005, working from www.habboxtv.com they produced Habbo style flash video's similar to real life programs. The department went through themes such as Halloween themed programs and Christmas themed programs and even produced some well known soaps such as eastenders! HabboxTV was also sometimes known in short at HxTV.
     


    This is the Habbox TV public advert for Big Brother back from 2007. 

    Programs

    HabboxTV produced many great programs, including the likes of Habboenders, The Street and Big Brother! Habboenders was the same as the well known BBC soap Eastenders, the street was based on another well known soap from ITV, Coronation Street and
    Big Brother was an annual event, just like the real world Big Brother where "housemates" live in a house, in this case it was a bunch
    of Habbo rooms connected via linking teleporters, and the Habbox members voted each week who they would like to see eliminated. Other programs included Doctor Who, Cyanide and a Habbo Tango advert!
     

    Roles within HabboxTV

    HabboxTV required a lot of work and effort to maintain the constant production of programs to keep the audience entertained. To do this, the management separated the staff roles to focus on key areas. These key areas where HabboxTV Website Staff, HabboxTV Writers, HabboxTV Flash Editors and Actors. There was a lot of work involved from writing the initial script to be used in the program, to creating the set, which meant setting up multiple rooms, to acting without making Typo's and other mistake that would disrupt the filming. 


    After that came all the technical work. The filming then had to be edited and merged to create one smooth program, after this had been done and the file had been completed and converted into flash, it was ready for release upon the HabboxTV site by the website staff and this is where the programs were viewed.

    The End Of HabboxTV

    HabboxTV had been through two successful years, however the levels of interest had started to drop. As time went on the HxTV audience kept decreasing and decreasing until it was decided that the amount of work required to continue producing programs was too much when there wasn't many people watching them. On the 20th of June 2007, the general manager ---MAD--- announced that HabboxTV was to close with immediate effect. All HxTV staff where released and the department was history. ---MAD--- said that the programs would be made available on habbox.com however over time these videos have been lost and many people have searched for them, but they where never found.
