More on CD:UK
Description from Wikipedia:
CD:UK was a UK television music show. It was launched on 29 August 1998 on ITV, in conjunction with SMTV Live, to rival the BBC's Live & Kicking. Airing every Saturday morning at 11.30am, it replaced The Chart Show. It was presented by Cat Deeley, an SMTV presenter, who continued presenting it even after she left SMTV. On occasions when Cat wasn't available, Tess Daly took over.
In contrast to its predecessor, which only showed promo videos, the new show was live with a studio audience and featured live performances, as well as star interviews and competitions. It also featured the Saturday chart, which although was unofficial, revealed the new number one single a day before the official chart was announced on BBC Radio 1. This made the BBC's long-running Top Of The Pops, which aired only the night before, seem very out-of-date broadcasting the previous week's chart. However, more recently the show has used an interactive chart based on viewers' votes, called the MiTracks Countdown.
In 2002 it was criticised for showing "raunchy" performances in a slot aimed at children, sparked by a performance of "Dirrty" by Christina Aguilera. Shortly afterwards a late night version of the show, CD:UK Hotshots, which played new music videos, some of which could be considered unsuitable for daytime viewing.
In its first eight years, CD:UK had become one of the most important music programmes on television. But by 2006, its future looked uncertain.
