The Official Chart Show to be streamed live
Tuesday 24th Jan 2012
For the first time in the show’s history ‘The Official Chart Show’, presented by Reggie Yates on Radio 1 every Sunday 4-7pm, will be shown live. The final hour will be filmed and streamed on the station's website. It will be the first time the top 10 has been shown live on any platform since the BBC ended its weekly Top of the Pops show in 2006.
Reggie said: "It's so exciting that chart show listeners can now become chart show viewers. For the first time fans will be able to see all the antics and interviews that take place each week on the show in the run up to announcing the number one single as well as being able to watch the music videos from the top 10 artists.”
Listeners will be able to interact visually with the show via Facebook, Twitter and text.
The first live stream airs on Sunday 26 February on the Radio 1 website.
