Pop Girl is a British free-to-air satellite television channel owned and operated by CSC Media Group, showing cartoons, live action and pop music videos for girls aged 5 to 13. The channel launched on 6 August, 2007 on Sky Digital channel 626 and is the second sister channel from POP!. Pop Girl originally broadcast from 6am till 9pm by time sharing with AnimeCentral, a general entertainment channel also owned and operated by CSC Media Group, which broadcasts from 9pm till 6am. Now due to the launch of Pop Girl +1, it now broadcasts from 6am till 11:30pm, (7am till 12:30am +1). This allowed AnimeCentral to broadcast 24 hours when it became Showcase TV.

Pop Girl Website

Pop Girl has recently had a website launched which includes features such as TV listings, quizzes, fashion ideas, games and competitions. This happened shortly after Pop Girl's two brother channels POP! and Tiny Pop recently had their websites developed.

Little Miss Pop Girl

Since 12 May, a new block was made called "Little Miss Pop Girl", which has a slight change to the channel's logo between 9am and 12pm every weekday during the school term. The block shows some cartoons such as Lazy Lucy or Pippi Longstocking.

Pop Girl+1

On 9 May 2008, the AGB Nielsen Media website announced that Pop Girl+1 would launch on Sky EPG 629, on Monday 9 June 2008 [ [http://www.agbnielsen.co.uk/agb/files/ClientServices/New%20BARB%20Channels/Implementation-PopGirl+1.doc Pop Girl+1 launches on 9th June] ] . However, it was in fact launched a few days before that, on Wednesday 4 June 2008, replacing CSC Media Group's first music timeshift, Flaunt +1, after only being on air just short of 4 weeks.
