Several weeks later, Initial TV approached Natasha Blake of Screenco and booked 11sq.m of 15mm LED high brightness display for use on the Pepsi Chart Show. Initial TV production manager, Vivienne Pheysey, explained: "We spoke at length to Gareth’s record company, who thoroughly recommended the screen. Anything less than an LED display would not have been bright enough."
Artists using video reinforcement on the show included Express 2 featuring David Byrne, Electric Soft Parade, Haven, Idlewild and Pay As U Go. Initial TV are now hoping to use the screen again on the new series.
