Channel Four Gives Popworld The Chop

First it was Popworld Pulp magazine, now the Popworld TV show has been given the axe.

After six and a half years on the air, the show that launched the careers of Simon Amstell and Miquita Oliver is no more from July.

Many people feel that the show lost its edge as soon as the condescending pair of Alex Zane and Alexa
Chung were drafted in last year.

A spokesperson for the show said: "Channel 4 has decided not to recommission Popworld.

"The show has performed very successfully over this period but we are keen to continue to use our T4 platform as a launch pad for new music formats that reflect our audience's tastes and the way in which they consume music."

Channel 4 are apparently lining up some offshoot shows to fill in the voids.
