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

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.”
