Topic summary
Pop Girl

Pop Girl was a British free-to-air children's television channel owned by CSC Media Group (formerly Chart Show Channels), a company associated with the music video programme The Chart Show, which had previously aired on Channel 4 and ITV. Programming that aired on the channel included cartoons, live action shows and music videos, and was available on Sky and Freesat. Its target audience was 7 to 12-year-old girls.
Pop Girl originally broadcast from 6 am until 9 pm in order to timeshare with AnimeCentral, a short-lived general entertainment channel also owned and operated by CSC Media Group, which broadcast from 9 pm until 6 am. Subsequently, Pop Girl's broadcast hours were extended to match with Kix! and it aired from 6 am until 11:30 pm. This allowed the sharing arrangement with AnimeCentral to end, allowing AnimeCentral to broadcast 24 hours before it became Showcase TV (now True Entertainment).
