CHART SHOW CHANNELS


'Chart Show Channels' are a UK-based satellite television channel provider, named after the defunct The Chart Show. They own 13 channels all of which are advertising funded and FTA. (Bliss, Scuzz and Flaunt were previously encrypted in NDS while they were owned by BSkyB)
Until May 2005, their sole output was music television, with their three fully owned music channels Chart Show TV, The Vault and B4, plus the three music channels Bliss (previously The Amp), Scuzz and Flaunt, which were owned by BSkyB but run by CSTV. There two childrens channels Pop (previously Toons & Tunes) and Tiny Pop (previously Pop Plus) also both showed music videos along with cartoons.
In 2006 Chart Show Channels took over Bliss, Scuzz and Flaunt from BskyB and now fully own them. They made them FTA like the rest of their channels, and this meant that they were no longer part of the Music Mix.
In 2007 they launched four channels. Two of which were timeshift channels Pop +1 and Tiny Pop +1. The third channel was a new childrens channel called Pop Girl and this is aimed at a female audience. The fourth channel was AnimeCentral.
They are also the majority owner of Moving Movies, with True Movies being the first channel from the company, which launched in late April 2005, which was joined by True Movies 2 in March 2006.
Chart Show's channels have no on-screen presenters, only a rarely heard continuity announcer who works on all channels, usually introducing prize draws. The channels are funded by advertising and SMS revenues.
They were announced as being one of the channel providers providing DVB-H channels in a 16 channel trial of the technology in Oxford, a system which will carry Chart Show TV, and were said to be one of the parties involved in bidding for a low-bandwidth, 18 hour a day stream on the UK's Digital Terrestrial Television system in November 2005 "Freeview bidding reaches £10 million"
