Nova claims radio first with real-time iTunes chart show
Nova is claiming a first in national radio, with the introduction of a real-time countdown for its iTunes chart show.
Nova’s Fresh 40 reflects the chart from iTunes Australia as it goes to air, as opposed to other chart shows whose data is almost a week old at the time of going to air, Nova claims.
Listeners can influence the top 10 in real time by downloading songs from the Nova + iTunes store during the show. The top 10 positions are reviewed each hour and then revealed on air between 5pm to 6pm.
The show will make its debut on Saturday 25 June from 3pm to 6pm, and be hosted by Christo and Katie.
Nice new spin on an old idea – the radio countdown.
Maybe we could apply the concept to radio announcers so we could vote Alan Jones off the air!
