Couldn't find an established thread for discussing the music channels that That's TV run, apart from the discussion about the entertainment channels in the Industry News local tv thread, so here's one…
Alongside their existing 60s, 80s and 90s channels, it seems that including, or in addition to, acquiring the former Trace Vault channel slot of Sky, That's have also acquired the 'Chart Show' brand, today launching 'Chart Show Retro', essentially just a mix of the 80s and 90s music played on the other channels.
It's been testing for the last week and a half, and it's interesting to see how they've altered the look. Originally, the idents were modelled in the style of the old ITV Chart Show, using the same music with a recreated logo and early 90s looking 3D models of the rollercoaster, bumper cars, space rocket 'thingys', but now the channel has launched, they're using some of the more recent mid 2010s idents used on both Chart Show TV and Chart Show Dance, just with some new music.
They also tested a 'Play' graphic in a sort of VHS style at the start of videos before the lower right song information appeared, though they look to have removed it before launching
