Programming
Main article: Pop (British and Irish TV channel)

Pop (stylised as POP) is a free-to-air television network in the United Kingdom and Ireland, owned by Sony Pictures Television. Its target audience is 4 to 9-year-old children.[3] It made its debut in the UK in 2002. In Pop's early years, links were presented by Rorry, a lime green dragon with a Scottish accent, who was animated live. He was accompanied by Purrdy, a dragon/cat hybrid who also appeared in original the Tricky programme on ITV. Originally, the network focused on music videos, with animated programming also part of the schedule, but with the numerous music video network options on British television at the time, this focus was quickly abandoned in 2004, when the animated content became much more prominent. Music videos continued to be carried on and off until 2007, before eventually being abandoned entirely. Pop was originally launched on 1 October 2002 by CSC Media Group as Toons and Tunes.[4] Toons and Tunes was then later re-branded as Pop in May 2003.
