Radio bosses explain chart-show changes.
Radio One head of programming Ben Cooper has defended his station's flagship chart show in the face of sliding audience figures, as the BBC station unveiled new presenters for its Sunday night chart rundown.
Former Top Of The Pops presenters Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates make their debut this coming Sunday on the show, which has, Cooper says, undergone a "strategic tweaking".
Their appointment comes at a rocky time for the programme, which lost a 14% share year-on-year of 15-24-year-old listeners, according to quarter two Rajar figures.
However, Cooper defends the show's audience record, saying, "The chart show has been holding its own in a vastly competitive market place and I am looking forward to the next set of Rajar figures."
And he says the changes at his station reflect a need to update the chart-show formula. "The days of `this is at number 20' are long gone," he explains. "It is no longer about slick disc-jockeys but about being an entertainment show. In Fearne and Reggie we have two of the best and most relevant presenters around who are actually music lovers."
