Chronologie

Pop, aussi appelé Pop TV est une chaîne de télévision payante américaine détenue par Paramount Global sous sa division réseau. Il s'agit d'une chaîne de divertissement généraliste, axée principalement sur les programmes relatifs à la culture populaire.

La chaîne a subi plusieurs changements de noms et de propriétaires au fil des années.

Connue sous le nom de Electronic Program Guide en 1981, elle a été renommée Prevue Guide en 1988, TV Guide Channel en 1999, TVGN en 2013, pour être finalement renommé Pop en 2015.

Histoire

modifier

On September 18, 2014, CBS and Lionsgate announced that TVGN (previously TV Guide Network) would be relaunched as Pop in early 2015, with the rebranding later announced to occur on January 14 of that year. The newly branded channel would shift toward programming about pop culture fandom and would carry 400 hours of original programming following the rebrand, including a reality show starring New Kids on the Block and the Canadian sitcom Schitt's Creek, the first program from Pop TV to receive Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series. Pop was made available on AT&T U-verseon March 1, 2016.

On March 12, 2019, CBS acquired Lionsgate's 50% stake in Pop, making Pop a part of CBS Cable Networks. It then became part of ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks on December 4, 2019, when CBS merged with Viacom. Now under the latter's management, it was merged into Viacom's existing cable unit with corresponding job losses due to redundancies. As Viacom traditionally has their programming produced internally for their cable networks rather than from outside producers, second-season renewals for Flack and Florida Girls, along with a series order for Best Intentions were revoked, with Viacom freeing all three series to be shopped to other venues without penalty.
