About Pop
Fans don’t sit at the outskirts of pop culture making snarky comments. They live right
smack in the middle of it, sharing, creating, and connecting their passions with others. At
Pop, fans finally have a destination that celebrates the fun of being a fan. Fans aren’t even
fans anymore — they’re gladiators, tributes, human beings and blockheads. Seen in more
than 80 million homes, Pop gives fans a dedicated channel that loves being a fan as much
as they do. A channel that respects talent over celebrity. A channel filled with optimism,
passion, humor, and excitement. A channel that understands the fun doesn’t stop when
the credits roll… it’s really just the beginning.
Pop is a joint venture of CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) and Lionsgate
(NYSE: LGF). The partnership combines CBS’s programming, production and marketing
assets with Lionsgate’s resources in motion pictures, television and digitally delivered
content. Pop’s ownership structure is comprised of the company with the #1 broadcast
network and many of the top first-run syndication series (“Entertainment Tonight,” “The
Insider”) and the studio that produces and distributes the blockbuster “Hunger Games,”
“Twilight” and “Divergent” franchises and produces such award-winning TV series as
“Mad Men” and “Orange is the New Black.”
