Pop Girl

Pop Girl was a free-to-air children's television channel in the United Kingdom, owned by CSC Media Group (formerly Chart Show Channels), a company associated with the makers of The Chart Show, a television programme that had previously been on Channel 4 and ITV. As of June 2014, it broadcast cartoons, live action and pop music videos on Sky and Freesat. Its target audience was 7 to 12-year-old girls.

Pop Girl originally broadcast from 6am until 9pm in order to share bandwidth with the now-defunct AnimeCentral, a general entertainment channel also owned and operated by CSC Media Group, which broadcast from 9pm until 6am. Subsequently Pop Girl's broadcast hours were extended to match those of Kix and it now broadcasts from 6am until 11:30pm. This allowed the sharing arrangement with AnimeCentral to end, thus allowing the entertainment channel to broadcast 24 hours when it became Showcase TV (now 'True Entertainment'). Pop Girl ceased broadcasting on 1 October 2015.

Music Career

2009-2013

All-girl singing groups are all the rage in Asia and other parts of the world these days. This is evident based on the popularity of two of South Korea's young female groups 2NE1 featuring Dara Park who was once a sought-after Philippine teen star known as Sandara Park and The Wonder Girls whose dance tune "Nobody" is the first song by a Korean artist to make it to the Billboard Hot 100 list.

In an effort to introduce new blood to the music scene, Viva Entertainment top honcho Vic del Rosario lost no time in forming a local girl group composed of five charming, pretty and exceptionally gifted girls. The result is an all-girl group called the POP Girls. It is composed of 16-year-old half-Lebanese twins Lailah and Mariam Bustria, 13-year-old Dutch mestiza RoseVan Ginkel, the 14-year-old half-Pinay, half Swiss Schai Sigrist, and the 15-year-old Nadine Lustre, who is the only pure Pinay of the quintet.
