In June 1998, the ''TV Guide'' brand and magazine were acquired by [[Gemstar-TV Guide International|United Video Satellite Group]],<ref name="Gemstar"/> the parent company of the Prevue Channel – a channel first launched in 1981 as the Electronic Program Guide network, that was carried by cable and some satellite television providers and was originally formatted to feature a [[electronic program guide|scrolling program guide]], short segments featuring previews of upcoming programs, and [[Promo (media)|promos]] and short-form [[Trailer (promotion)|film trailers]] for programs airing on various channels. Its new owners promptly rebranded Prevue as the '''TV Guide Channel''' on February 1, 1999. With the rebranding, some of the hourly segments featured on the channel at that point were renamed after features in the magazine, including ''TV Guide Close-Up'', ''TV Guide Sportsview'' (which was formatted more similarly to the listings section's sports guide than the color column of that name) and ''TV Guide Insider''. After Gemstar's acquisition of ''TV Guide'', the channel began to shift toward airing full-length programs featuring celebrity gossip and movie-focused talk shows alongside the program listings. The channel was rebranded as the '''TV Guide Network''' in 2007.

Following the respective sales of TV Guide's magazine and cable channel by Macrovision to OpenGate Capital and Lionsgate,<ref name="OpenGate"/><ref name="LionsgateTVGuide"/> the magazine and TV Guide Network became operationally separate, although the two properties still collaborated on content for TVGuide.com. After CBS Corporation bought stakes in TV Guide's properties in March 2013,<ref name="deadline-cbstvguide"/> TV Guide Network was rebranded under the abbreviated name TVGN that April to de-emphasize its ties to ''TV Guide Magazine'', as part of a transition into a general entertainment format while the channel gradually decommissioned its scrolling listings grid. The network was relaunched as Pop on January 14, 2015,<ref>{{cite press release|title=Pop Network to Debut on Wednesday January 14, 2015|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/11/17/pop-network-to-debut-on-wednesday-January-14-2015/328642/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141119212234/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/11/17/pop-network-to-debut-on-wednesday-January-14-2015/328642/|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 19, 2014|website=[[TV by the Numbers]]|publisher=[[Tribune Media|Tribune Digital Ventures]]|date=November 17, 2014|access-date=January 24, 2015}}</ref> with its programming focus shifting towards shows about [[popular culture|pop culture]] and its [[fandom]].<ref>{{cite news|author=Nellie Andreeva|date=September 18, 2014|title=TVGN To Rebrand Itself As POP, Focus On Fans|website=Deadline Hollywood|url=https://deadline.com/2014/09/tvgn-rebrand-pop-focus-on-fans-836044/|access-date=April 16, 2020|archive-date=February 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200227002012/https://deadline.com/2014/09/tvgn-rebrand-pop-focus-on-fans-836044/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=TV Guide Network to Relaunch In Early 2015 As POP|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cables-tvgn-to-relaunch-in-early-2015-as-pop-1201308419/|author=Brian Steinberg|periodical=Variety|date=September 18, 2014|access-date=November 13, 2015|archive-date=November 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117031925/http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cables-tvgn-to-relaunch-in-early-2015-as-pop-1201308419/|url-status=live}}</ref>
