Theoritcally, they could bring back The Chart Show. They run their own channel now, and it did briefly return to Channel 4 in Janaury 2003, and they do make B4 which airs on Channel 4 on weekday mornings. ITV could recomission The Chart Show if they wanted to. And in all reality, a show like that works better than a live show with presenters and guests, as there's little chance of the show drifting away from its format, and there's no chance of having poor features, presenters and acts as there aren't any. And no teenage girls screaming over the songs either.


They could , but is there much point when there's at least a dozen channels on satellite already showing music videos, all day, every day (give or take adverts every third song).

I was also a big fan of the Chart Show, as I was of ITV's entire Saturday morning lineup a few yonks back. But when they draft the new Big B winner straight in to co-present with some nameless tottie from Corrie, then there's a threesome innuendo joke regarding t.A.T.u., I think a show has lost its way. Kill it now, bring back a presenterless, Commodore64-styled show.


Let a show relaunch!

Without wanting to sound old, I think the dip in quality in these shows is down more to the charts themselves than the fault of the programes.

You can't make an interesting show if what you are working from (i.e The Top 40) is a load of old dross.

Vicious circle, though. If what youngsters (and it's generally youngsters who are single buyers) are being fed is the usual diet of R&B and crappy guitar pop (look at most of the music channels as an example) then the charts are going to reflect that.

But no-one's going to take the risk to bring us anything different. Even MTV Dance is full of R&B junk after all...

Details of the "relaunch" have been released today.

Myleene Klass (ex-Hearsay), Lauren Laverne (ex-Kenickie and XFM DJ), and Johny P (Bare Knuckle Soul and satellite channel Trouble) are to be the new presenters of the show, relaunching on September 17th.

Full story.

Sounds interesting, especially Conor's quotes. Will it change the way music shows are presented.

I wonder how much money has been spent on the relaunch. I do like the idea of taking 3 people from totally different backgrounds with totally different tastes, I'm just curious to how this will be integrated into the programme.

Only time will tell!

I can't see a new look push up the shows ratings.

Shows like CD:UK and TOTP made a big mistake by being moved to a day in which TV is crap, and TOTP moving to BBC2 was a big mistake too.

I'll say it again - CD:UK only moved to Sundays for a while due to the F1!

In relation to the news of the relaunch; you knowwhen you can tell somethings not going to pull it off? When I heard the names Laverne and Klass, I thought 'Eek'.
