I've been doing some digging, mainly around shows aimed at young people that used to air mostly on Saturday mornings. I've also been led to the music shows.
I started my research at:
Tiswas (ITV) 1974-1982
Going Live! (BBC) 1987-1993
Live & Kicking (BBC) 1993-2001
The Saturday Show (BBC) 2001-2005
SMTV Live (ITV) 1998-2003
CD:UK (ITV) 1998-2006
Ministry of Mayhem (ITV) 2004-2006
The Chart Show (Channel 4) 1986-1989, 2003
(ITV) 1989-1998
(Chart Show TV) 2008-2009
Total Request Live (MTV) 1998-2008
TRL UK (MTV) 2003-2005
Top of the Pops (BBC) 1964-2006
The Album Chart Show (Channel 4) 2006-
Freshly Squeezed (Channel 4) 2006-
Curated by Lyle and Scott (Channel 4)
Launched at Red Bull Studios (Channel 4)
Koko Pop (Channel 4)
Many, if not all, morning shows aimed at young people with live audiences have disappeared. Even the more recent music shows take out the 'live' element that used to dominate early Saturday morning television.
Here is a news article saying how the Beeb are relaunching TOTP on the internet:
There are a couple of current competitions running around the UK:
Live and Unsigned (2007-onwards)
Open Mic UK (2008-onwards)
I think that TOTP going online is really telling of the changing landscape etc - it should influence your own ideas too - exploit online potential and it's 'tailor made/UGC' content too?
