Pop is a free-to-air children's television channel in the United Kingdom, owned by CSC Media Group. As of June 2014, it broadcasts cartoons, facts and game shows on Sky, Freesat, and Freeview. Its target audience is 7 to 9 year old boys and girls. ==History== It was launched on 29 May 2003, it was known as ''Toons and Tunes'' for a month, it was rebranded as Pop in June 2003. Originally, the channel was mainly music videos until February 2004, when cartoons were first shown. Music videos were kept on the channel, but were then dropped entirely during mid-2006. They were later revived in early 2007, but only during a 60-minute slot called "Pop Party", now on Pop Girl. In October 2006, a further change was added: Now the all cap letters ("!" included) are in 3D and are shown dancing or chasing each other and eventually spelling out the logo "POP!". This ident was set to music very similar to the song Yakety Sax, though this was changed after a few months, perhaps due to the similarity. Some of the programmes on Pop have previously screened on other UK channels (and hence it's assumed that the previous rights to show have lapsed); some have not been screened in the UK before. In some cases, the channel which previously broadcast a programme is now defunct (such as TCC, Discovery Kids and Toonami). On 11 October 2007, Pop was launched onto Virgin Media, along with its sister channel Tiny Pop. In 2008, Pop was made available on the then newly launched Freesat platform. Pop was removed from Virgin Media on 28 February 2011 so that True Entertainment could launch. Although they are now rarely aired in favour of newer content, POP is the sole Television Channel in the UK to air shows made by now-defunct animation studio DiC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pop (UK and Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
