The Roxy

This Tyne-Tees music show was presented by Kevin Sharkey and David "Kid" Jensen, following the demise of "The Tube" a few months earlier. … It featured the music chart as featured on its sister programme, The Network Chart Show, a radio show broadcast on local independant radio stations nationwide. … After an industrial dispute which saw the end of live performances. … The failure to keep up in the ratings with Top Of The Pops, and the fact that "The Tube" had already achieved a huge fanbase and respect from artists, plus artists didnt want to travel to Newcastle for a 3 minute slot when they could get to the BBC in London easier, meant the show was cancelled on April 5th 1988.
