It was a spin-off of the long-running BBC music programme, ''Top of the Pops'', and was one of several Play UK programmes to utilise the ''TOTP'' brand. These programmes were able to use the BBC-owned ''TOTP'' brand commercially as BBC Worldwide, the BBC's commercial arm, held (and still holds) a 50% stake in the UKTV group of channels. BBC Worldwide also publishes the TOTP magazine.
The programme was broadcast for three hours each weekday afternoon as a live music and entertainment magazine programme, featuring interviews with celebrities, interactive phone-in elements (such as music video requests), competitions, and magazine features. It was similar in style to the rival programme MTV Select, which aired in a similar afternoon timeslot on MTV UK & Ireland.
''TOTP@play'' utilised a number of presenters during its run, including Josie d'Arby, Vernon Kay, Joe Mace and Dermot O'Leary.
