Tiny Pop is a free-to-air English satellite television channel owned and operated by Chart Show Channels. It is licensed to air animation and music. Its brother channel is Pop. The station replaced Pop Plus to show its connection.
Programmes are introduced through animations of monkeys, known as the Cheeky Monkeys, who read out jokes from viewers. Many programmes in the early hours of the morning are shown without commercial breaks, though late night entertainment (generally 10 p.m. - 1.40 a.m.) is replaced by Teleshopping.

[edit] Music
As well as cartoons, the channel used to air music videos, in short slots. Named "Tiny Pops", they showed old and new songs from various artists, although for a while it was mainly boybands, but has recently changed format. The videos are often ones which are animated, or contain clips from popular films, such as The Lion King.
