Sky axe legendary children's channel today after 17 years
The broadcaster is removing the children's channel POP Max from all platforms on Tuesday, as confirmed by Sky on its website. It first launched in 2008 as Kix before rebranding to POP almost 10 years later in 2017. Sky aired POP Max and POP Max +1 on Sky Q and Sky+HD, as well as POP Max HD on Sky Glass and Sky Stream. The channel was a favourite among children, known for showing animated programmes including Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series and Droners. The move by Sky follows POP Max being taken off Freeview last year, following a shift in digital streaming, reports The Sun. However, other POP-branded channels, including Tiny POP will remain on Sky, but some are moving as a result of the POP Max closure: It's reported many of the children's shows that previously aired on POP Max will continue to be available on demand via the free POP Player app. Other changes coming to Sky from today, according to its website, include Sky Adventure (Satellite 302 - Sky Glass/Stream 302) being renamed to Apocalyptic HD as a temporary change.

Sky axing beloved channel after 16 years as viewers say it's the 'end of an era'
Sky have announced that they are pulling a channel from all their platforms from Tuesday April 22. which has left some avid viewers rather disappointed Sky is set to remove POP Max from all their platforms starting Tuesday, April 22. The broadcaster had previously hosted the main channel POP Max and POP Max +1 on Sky Q and Sky+HD, and POP Max HD on Sky Glass and Sky Stream. The channel was already taken off Freeview last year. POP Max, which started in 2008 as Kix and was rebranded as POP in 2017, will no longer be available. Sky announced the news on its website, but other POP-branded channels will remain on the platform, although some are moving position due to the closures. On satellite, Tiny POP is moving from 618 up to 615, while Tiny POP+1 will jump from 629 to 619 and POP+1 is shifting from 619 to 618. Viewers were shocked by the news. "End of an era with Kix and Pop Max," one wrote on YouTube. "Can't say I'm surprised though. Taking it off Freeview back in December was the final nail in the coffin," another said. A third commented: "Didn't see that coming." POP Max broadcasts animated programmes including Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series and Droners, reports the Express. This is the latest setback for viewers after a number of channels were axed. In February this year, Sky TV and Virgin Media users lost access to Eurosport services. This was due to Eurosport owners - Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) - moving content over to its TNT Sports and Discover+ platforms instead. Sky isn't the only broadcaster axing channels. ITV has also removed popular channels from air recently. In September 2023, ITV's children's channel CITV stopped broadcasting, with their kids' content shifting to the digital-only streamed channel ITVX Kids on the ITVX app. On April 16 this year, ITV announced further reductions with the closure of ITVBe, which was home to much of the broadcaster's reality content. The channel, which only launched in 2014 and aired shows such as The Only Way Is Essex and The Real Housewives of Cheshire, will broadcast for the last time in June after just over a decade on air. Its shows will now transition to ITV2, which will premiere the new series of TOWIE in the autumn.
