The Hits stuck with the request format almost to the end I think?
I remember on a few occasions after their first graphics refresh (about 18 months after they launched) the system would crash and they'd end up going back to the old graphics - presumably a completely separate Windows PC. The default graphics weren't massively different from the original set, but it was extremely noticeable when they were doing one of their themed weeks/weekends, as the colours would totally change.
I always wondered what happened about the requests that went in but knowing what we know now they were probably just totally lost whenever the system changed/restarted. There's no chance that sort of thing could be got away with post-phone in scandal.
The Box's current output reminds me a lot of the The Hits in Classic Hits mode actually.
Another memory I have of The Hits, possibly towards the end, was they would have scheduled 'takeovers' by Kerrang (Friday nights) and Kiss (Saturday nights). They weren't a simulcast of Kerrang or Kiss and they didn't have requests, but they did almost completely rebrand for these strands using the Kerrang/Kiss graphics.
