= Babalà Club = Babalà Club earlier called A la Babalà was a children's program [this information is important and necessary to provide context to the readers] on Valencian television in the Valencian language on the autonomous TV channels, Canal 9 (Saturday mornings, Sundays and Leisure Stations.) [this formatting is correct in English, and it also appears in the original Spanish article.] The program was hosted by a human-sized stuffed English Bull Terrier dog, acting as the mascot and symbol of the program. Along with him, Pau and Nina hosted the program. Babala's first adventure was hosted by Paqui Rodán and the reporter Indi; later it was hosted [deleting the word hosted would make the text somewhat unclear to potential readers] by the popular María Abradelo and the Babalà dog for 7 years. Shortly after, the program Juga-la Babalà was born, also hosted by María Abradelo, in which kids from all over [this phrase exemplefies the reach this television program had; if the original author didn’t think this was an important detail, it wouldn’t have been included in the original] competed, just as in Babalà Club where there were also school-aged kids. The same summer, a vaction-themed program called Juga-la a l'aigua was born and took place in a waterpark. Several years later Babala Galaxia was born, which featured a virtual scene hosted by María Abradelo along with the virtual dog and a robot, also virtual, named "Bolet"; this program lasted for 4 years on cable television. Later the show returned to Earth and was hosted by Pau and Nina, now being called Babaclub, throwing out Babala.

The program included several animated series, a section of popular Valencian stories, and playful activities for the younger viewers. In March 2009 it was substituted for Babaclub, disappearing [this vocabulary is perfectly appropriate in this context] due to the closing of "Canal 9".

History of A la babalà
1989-1991

The program started in 1990, hosted by Diego Braguinsky (who was in charge of presenting at the first broadcasts of Canal 9 Valencian Television on the 9th of October, 1989) and Fani Grande. "A la babalà" is a Valencian expression for doing things at random. At first, the program was developed on a set of stands where groups of paired kids competed in tests such as guessing meals while blindfolded or changing clothes and putting on costumes in the shortest possible time. During this period, musical shows were increased and the presenters sang the A la Babalà rap, as well as educative songs to promote recycling, good habits, etc. Diego and Fani’s gags were combined with animated series. Pacmanseries, The Gary Coleman show, and above all, The Ninja Turtles, plus Bola de Drac ( Dragon Ball), which would last for several seasons. The series of real actors of French production The Baby-sitter was also broadcasted. The mascot in this first stage was an elongated puppet with red body, yellow head and red cheeks. One of Fani Grande's most famous gags was when she was making La bruixa maduixa (The strawberry witch).

1991-1992

During the next stage, the pair of presenters were Fani Grande and Robert Esteve. The set with children changed and the stages began to be completely virtual. The animated series continued to be basically the same and the antagonist was a short puppet, with a blue body, a fat grey head and an angry face. It was a big contrast with the tall, smiling puppet, who was the original mascot of the program.

1992-1995

In 1992 there was a radical change in the program. The presenters (or host, but both are correct) and the pets changed. The new presenters appeared at the end of 1992. They were Xoni (Ricardo Jordán), Poti (Carme Juan) and Tiriti (José Vicente Baynat), and had a much more modern aesthetic, (Xoni's haircut is similar to that of rappers [EST]( creo que esto está correcto), and three virtually animated pets, although still two-dimensional. These ones didn't have names, nor did the previous ones. One was a toothy triangle with red legs whose cap could transform into a helicopter. The next, a white toothy circle with a visor cap and legs; and finally, a square, also toothy, and quite clumsy, that are usually shocked with everything and just dizzy. Drac Z Ball continued to cause a stir among the younger ones, but so did the Musculman series , Doctor Slump , El capità planeta and Goldorak, the giant robot series and the rerun of G Command. During this time, musical performances became more popular, and the presenters sang the A la babalà rap, as well as educative songs to promote recycling, good manners, etc.

1996-1997 A new period marks a new beginning and Paqui Rondán is now the only presenter. She had already been a TV reporter in Noticies 9. Paqui Rondán starts the program and introduces [I consider “introduce” is the correct verb, since the original used “presentar”] the new mascot, an English Bull Terrier dog named Babalà, who renamed the club, from Babalà to Babalà club. At first, Babalà was a real dog, but was later replaced by a stuffed animal. Kids could visit the studio again, now decorated with a TV video wall, and painted red, since it was the official color of the club, where they could take part in physical and musical activities. Paqui Rondán danced with two dancers in the studio and the program continued to broadcast series, especially Valencian series such as Las Tres Mellizas (The Triplets in English) and also old cartoons, like Snoopy or Charlie Brown. Dragon Ball had already ended so [this is not an addition, it’s written in the original Wikipedia page], even though it was really popular, they stopped broadcasting it. 1997-2000

The structure of Babalà Club barely changed. The set changed but it maintained the same colors. The presenter at this time is Maria Abradelo, who was famous for the karaoke program Canta, canta. Babalà, the mascot, is now a cartoon dog. The program showed sketches of Babalà doing many activities, such as painting or boxing. 2000-2001

During this period, the program took place at an attic where Maria Abradelo lived with two teenagers, Lidia and Teo, and two kids, Ana and Ferrán. They performed gags and presented the Fallas program in 2000 and 2001 as well as the Hogueras de San Juan in Alicante.

2002-2006

María Abradelo was once again the only presenter of the program, although now the plot was centered on the Babalà ship, in which there was not only María, but also the Babalà dog (now a giant teddy bear) and a flying machine similar to a coffee machine, Bolet, which spoke in Valencian, was fearful and knew many things. The plot was on the ship they were traveling, they searched for intelligent life and explored new planets. By then, series were all Valencian.

2006- March 2009

The presenters were Pau and Nina, a young boy and girl who starred in gags with Babalà, again played by a giant stuffed dog costume with a man inside. The sets ceased to be virtual and resembled colourful children's playgrounds. The presenters starred in musical sketches such as Babalà's Rock.

March 2009-November 2013

The last stage of the club changed again their name. It was called BabaClub and has now been incorporated a whole series of puppets that kept an aesthetic great resemblance with Los Lunnis of TVE. Babalà, BabaDo, BabaRré (an anteater with a flute nose), BabaSí, BabaMí (a cat), PolPol (he pollutes by using a machine that turns everything into smoke, as he has been polluting so much, parts of his body sometimes fall off), Professor Sol, the duo Penta and Grama (two rats), Silfa and MacMicro (a monkey reporter), and the new BabaClub characters. The names of the characters formed the notes of the staff, hence the names. All the characters were animals welcomed by Professor Sol who joined in a music group and lived all together in his workshop. The workshop was full of all these characters, including the rats Penta and Grama, who lived in a crack and saw everything that appeared on the television of the teacher. Silfa was a girl from the forest presented in the form of a magic halo and who could communicate with animals. In this last stage, the series continued to be mostly Valencian.
