Legendary children's channel on Sky axed after 17 years
The broadcaster is removing the children's channel POP Max from all platforms on Tuesday, due to its owner Narrative Entertainment UK Limited closing it down. 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.

Elsewhere, some temporary name changes will be reverted from Tuesday, with Harry Potter (Satellite 306/850 - Sky Glass/Stream 306) renamed back to Sky Family/Sky Family HD and Sky The Hobbit (Satellite 303 - Sky Glass/Stream 303) changing back to Sky Hits/Sky Hits HD.
