The Heritage Chart Show is syndicated on other selected radio stations across the UK and around the world. Its production allows stations to add their own identity, flexibility to broadcast it at different times or days and, as a non-interactive format, it is ideal for broadcast on stations using automated or limited resourced studios. This has made it a popular choice with community radio stations or online only stations which are often run by volunteers or cannot produce 24/7 live output. One such example is Enjoy Radio, an online station based in Greater Manchester who started carrying The Heritage Chart Show in early 2022. In January 2023, Regency Radio , and OFCOM licensed station on the south coast broadcasting on DAB in the Brighton area, as well on app, online and on smart speaker took the Chart Show for Sunday nights 5-7pm Other radio shows On 12 April 2021, Read started hosting the breakfast show on Downforce Radio, broadcasting from 7-10am. , Read presents
