Default Top of the Pops relaunching online

Quote:
The BBC is reportedly relaunching Top of the Pops on the internet.

The Radio 1 Official Chart Show will be revamped on February 26 to include online videos, live performances and *interviews with artists who appear in the Top Ten.

Host Reggie Yates, who campaigned for the return of Top of the Pops alongside Fearne Cotton, will hand a special prize to the act that reaches number one each week and fans can send in questions via Twitter and Facebook.

"This really is being seen as Top of the Pops for the 21st century at the Beeb and we have high hopes it could be very popular with hundreds of thousands of people watching the show on their laptops," a source told The Mirror.

"It mixes old elements of the hit series with live chats with the acts, chart fans should love it."

Controller of BBC Radio 1 Ben Cooper added: "This is the Chart Show for the 21st century. I'm very excited about this innovation.

"Young people will be logging on to listen, watch and take part in the show. I hope that this will be to our young listeners what listening to the chart and waiting to record your favourite pop songs was for another generation."

Insiders have predicted that the show could end up on TV if its online run is successful.

Olly Murs recently expressed an interest in hosting a new version of Top of the Pops.
Nice idea but I wish it was coming back on TV too, there's no big weekly music show on TV anymore.

This doesn't sound anywhere near as good as Top of the Pops on TV. Why can't we have it on TV? Having it online doesn't make it look better if it's all modern and stuff..

Agreed. Nobody will watch it online. And even if they do watching things online is rubbish and slow so they wont enjoy it much. Furthermore they are messing with the TOTP format! prefer the way the show was before

I quite like this idea. It'd be nice to have a show like it back on TV, but sadly I don't think there's the demand for it. This however, I think could work.

I still hope that one day you'll be able to watch most radio shows go out live, I know it sort of takes away from the entire point of radio itself but it's nice to have the option there...it makes it more two dimensional.
