CBS has bought out Lionsgate to acquire full ownership of the cable network Pop.
Terms for the transaction were not immediately revealed by either company. In 2013, CBS invested $100 million in half of the network, when it was still known as the TV Guide Network, or TVGN. It was rebranded in 2015 as Pop and soon had a critical favorite and steady performer in the comedy Schitt’s Creek. More recently, the Anna Paquin-starring Flack has garnered the network some attention.
