THe Hits classics weekend - Freeview

g jones · 30-01-2004, 14:06

Just to let you know that The Hits has got another classics weekend .On now Friday until Sunday.

chelseachris · 30-01-2004, 16:07

yep, i just chose Wuthering Heights

Spot · 30-01-2004, 16:22

Is it exactly the same list of videos as before? There are certainly a lot that were on last time. I'd have thought they would try and vary it a bit more from month to month.

goody2shoes_23 · 30-01-2004, 17:09

I know th songs seem very similar.

Another question, on the lstings for next weeks songs. It says Dido - Thank You, as their is no song called this by Dido is meant to be Jamelia?

chelseachris · 30-01-2004, 17:41

no, Dido did release a song called Thank You

FaiLSaFe · 30-01-2004, 17:53

Yeah, it was what Eminem used a sample from for Stan.

Elwell2005 · 30-01-2004, 20:00

Hopefully they keep it gold, or anything else than that pink/purple

Ellie666 · 31-01-2004, 16:02

i fail to see the point in phoning in as surely they don't recieve calls 24/7 and yet they keep playing all the time.

anyway if u really want a video just wait for it to be shown, you've got at least 8 or 9 chances this weekend

goody2shoes_23 · 31-01-2004, 16:57

Cannot believed I made that Dido mistake! Wasn't her first big single Here With Me?

I don't like the gold, I do like the new indents though.

airwaves · 31-01-2004, 19:29

I only watch the Hits when they do there Classics Weekends

More of these weekends please The Hits

Red Dalek · 01-02-2004, 12:58

Are these weekends still planning to be done once a month? I love them! More variety is what we need on our music channels, though both The Hits and TMF have improved enourmously over the past year.

Yes, both have improved, its a shame Mux D is bad for me. I Think these weekends will be on the last weekend of every month, as thats what it looks like.

As mad as this sounds, Bonnie Tyler has teamed up with a French singer to re-record "Total Eclipse of The Heasrt", and it's currently No.1 in the French charts!

There was an item about it on Radio 5 Live last week ...

Man that's a bit early - I'm sure the previous one's continued at least until the early hours of Monday morning

Also a bit of an odd time to change the playlist over - I got the impression Friday that with the new playout system that they could switch from one week / weekends playlist to another at a particular switchover time as I'm sure the 'Classic Hits' weekend started at around 10am dead on Friday...

Elwell2005 · 02-02-2004, 01:55

it was 10.00am exactly i had just turned on i had a normal hits song and then an advert break and then straight after a the gold logos appeared.

Anthonyruk86 · 02-02-2004, 13:10

What happens if you phoned up for a classic hits song at around 10:25pm. Surley they wouldn't have time to play it before 10:36.

Red Dalek · 02-02-2004, 16:08

They would probably just not play it!
