The Student Radio Chart show broadcasts live across the U.K every Sunday at 3pm.

The chart itself is a top 20 run down of the most played songs on Student radio stations throughout the U.K. Produced by The Student Radio Association, The Student Radio Chart Show it is the only chart show for students by students. Of course the chart is the main talking point of show, but there is loads more to listen out for too including music news and gig guides. The local showcase feature allows the host station to promote bands and artists from their area, introducing them to the rest of the U.K. Each week there is also a Student Radio Association recommend track of the week as well as a label track of the week that promotes up and coming new bands on lesser known record labels.
