Chart Show TV is a British music television channel owned and operated by CSC Media Group (formerly Chart Show Channels). The same people behind The Chart Show, a television programme that had previously been on Channel 4 and ITV. It launched in September 16, 2002 and initially consisted of several different charts, mimicking the format of the television show upon which is was based, however, many of these were dropped and the channel started showing mainly just videos. Recently chart format shows have been brought back based on different genres such as the rock chart, urban chart and download chart.
The channel plays a mixture of the chart format shows along with the latest music from artists and bands, plus chart topping videos from most song genres. It also shows programmes dedicated to particular artists and allows viewers to vote for their most wanted videos each week. Recently special programmes featuring interviews with artists and bands about up coming singles and albums, plus music related chat, are now being shown on Chart Show TV.
The Chart Show TV logo is on screen in the top left-hand corner during music videos and the song information fades in and out at the bottom of the screen at the start and near the end of each music video. The channels' identity is also seen before and after advert breaks when the Chart Show TV logo spins in the centre of the screen.
The operators of the channel, CSC Media Group, subsequently launched a number of new channels, mostly music based, both independently and in partnership with British Sky Broadcasting.
Chart Show TV is available 24 hours a day on Sky Digital channel 355 and is part of a boquet of music channels owned by CSC Media Group, including classic hits channel The Vault, urban music channel Flava, chill-out music channel Bliss, rock music channel Scuzz, dance music channel Flaunt and indie music channel NME TV.
The channel broadcast in 4:3 from its launch but switched to 16:9 on 4th February 2008. All of CSC Media Group's other music channels have also recently switched to 16:9 broadcasting. A new website for Chart Show TV is also under development since its sister channels have recently had new websites launched.
