Two much loved channels are set to disappear from Sky, Virgin Media and Freeview. Both POP and Tiny POP will no longer be accessible on these streaming platforms.

Both channels have been firm favourites among children over the years since 2003. The channel's favourite shows include Elmo’s World, Dragon Ball Super and Masha and the Bear.

From the end of December, on the 31st, the channels will cease to exist on both streaming platforms. POP player and the website will also close down but viewers can still watch their favourite TV shows on internet connected Freeview boxes as well as smart TV's including Samsung TV Plu
