In my opinion this channel was great. When I first got Sky in 2000, fair enough there wasn't the amount of music channels there is now, but The Bob was my favourite channel. Tis was because it always featured the up to date pop music videos and just the general chart stuff I like. The format has changed over the years though.

This channel mainly was you got to choose the songs and through all the music videos was a moving banner of the song names, artists and the code for them. To get the songs you dialled a premium rate number - which used to cost 60p per minute, but it was £1.50 the last time I saw it. Although I never phoned up - probably too stingy, but I benefitted from others requesting Britney Spears Oops I did it again, hey the song was in at the time!

Anyway a few years ago the format changed and it still kept the same pop songs, but there was no phone in option. Fair enough it meant you kind of didn't have the choice in the music, but often the same songs seem to be looped through the day.

This channel runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but you will find from 2.30am-6.00am then this channel turns into teleshopping. Shame, as although other channels go into the silly infomercials through the night, I think that Music channels should keep the music going, no matter if it is naff or not.

The main thing on this channel is the Top 40 charts, which lasts about 3 hours and I sometimes record this, as it makes good background music as it's the stuff I like.

If you like Britney, James Morrison, Lady Gaga, Sugababes, Pink and so on, then you will like this channel. If you're more into Coldplay, Kings Of Leon and so on, yes they will make an appearance but not featured that heavily here!
