Unlike the official sales-based chart broadcast at the same time by BBC Radio 1 , the hit40uk chart includes radio Airplay . The show has enjoyed higher audience figures than Radio 1's Official Chart Show since 1993, except for a brief period of 2006 when a weak commercial radio sector caused hit40uk's share to fall below that of its rival. hit40uk descends from The Network Chart Show , which was hosted by David Jensen on the commercial radio network from September 30 , 1984 to July 25 , 1993 , sponsored from 1985 onwards by Nescafe . On August 1 , 1993 , Pepsi began their sponsorship of the show and Neil Fox became its host; it was known as the Pepsi Network Chart before becoming the Pepsi Chart around 1996. Pepsi ended their sponsorship of the show on December 29 , 2002 , and the hit40uk name was adopted on January 5 , 2003 , but Fox remained the host until May 30 , 2004 . On June 6 , 2004 Simon Hirst and Katy Hill became co-hosts of hit40uk; Hirst later hosted the show on his own. In March 2006, hit40uk began broadcasting worldwide on the U-Pop satellite channel. The international version of the show is hosted by Mark Daley . It can be heard on XM Satellite Radio across the US and around the planet on WorldSpace Satellite Radio. In April 2006, hit40uk launched a weekly podcast, also presented by Simon. On October 12 2006, it was announced that the programme was to be relaunched on October 22, with a new presenter, Capital Radio 's Lucio Buffone . A new logo was also introduced to replace their old look. In the same week, a dance and urban chart, the Fresh 40 , hosted by Dynamite MC , was introduced to commercial radio's dance and urban stations, such as those in the Galaxy Network and the Kiss Network . The chart is also broadcast on South Africa 's biggest radio station 5FM , as opposed to the official chart possibly due to higher audience figures in the UK for the chart show. It is broadcast every Monday between 2000-2200 local time, by Nicole Fox. The site had a complete revamp and didnt include a webcam, message board and chatroom EXTERNAL LINKS
