The key commercial radio companies have sealed a three-year deal with independent production company Unique for a revamped Sunday chart show. The revamp comes as the long standing Pepsi sponsorship deal comes to an end, as EMAP launches a new interactive chart show on its local and national digital stations, and as Radio 1 prepares to revamp its flagship chart programme. Capital, GWR, Scottish Radio Holdings and Chrysalis have re-signed up with Unique, confident the company can provide a winning new formula to be broadcast on the groups’ collective 94 stations around the UK. Although the Pepsi Chart Show (known as the Network Chart prior the the Pepsi sponsorship) still has a million more listeners that its BBC rival, the next year will be a crucial time for the show.
