- TriviaFrom 1986 to 1988, the show ran on Channel 4, which at the time was largely funded by ITV. Its success led ITV to transfer the show to its main channel from 1989 - a relatively rare "promotion" of a Channel 4 programme to the more mainstream network.

Featured review
Much missed
What a fantastic programme this was! There has been nothing as good as it ever since on UK TV. It was always superior in my view to Top of the Pops with its usually inane presenters (the wonderful John Peel excepted) and terrible miming from so many of the stars (though that did change later on as more bands wanted to play live).
Australia does have Channel Ten's Video Hits which is sometimes similar in its approach but has two of the dullest, ignorant presenters appear on it far too much.
"The Chart Show" was a simple concept - just stick on a load of music videos and add the odd captioned comment. It did indeed introduce tons of us to new bands and musicians as well as how good (or awful) music videos could really be.
