- Popworld is a British television programme that was broadcast on Channel 4, offering pop news, trivia, gossip, interviews and music videos, as well as musical performances from the most recent top artists. The show began in January 2001 and was initially presented by Miquita Oliver and Simon Amstell. Alex Zane and Alexa Chung took over the programme in 2006. Popworld was broadcast every Sunday Morning on Channel 4 at 10.30 a.m. , and repeated on E4 at 2.00 p.m. the next day. At various points over the years there has been enough of what the presenters term "interview gold" to keep celebrity fear levels running high. Everything from a po-faced Gwen Stefani refusing a gift of cheese on the red carpet at the 2005 Brits; host Simon Amstell interviewing Natalie Imbruglia with a paper bag over his head, or, famously, Girls Aloud's Cheryl Tweedy, fresh from her court case involving an incident with a toilet attendant, being asked whether people were frightened to see her walk into the ladies. Popworld has often been compared to shows such as the 1980s hit The Tube and it does share its sense of reflecting the times - in Popworld's case, it reflects confusing multi-media/blogging/downloading times. But it also harks back to the best on offer from previous eras - including, from the publishing world, the irreverence of old-school Smash Hits, the merciless skewerings of NME, through to the brutal-when-necessary celebrity demystification of Heat magazine. " Popworld " was also heralded as a platform for unsigned bands to appear on the show, A website of the same name and in partnership with channel 4 encouraged acts to upload there music to the site and following a fan vote, where the fans paid to download there favourite track, whichever band finished top of the monthly download chart would appear on the show. The Superkings from Burnley were the last winners, however it needed pressure from the Sunday Mirror http://www. mirror. co. uk/sunday-mirror/2007/05/27/pop-show-vote-scandal-hits-c4-98487-19205632/ to ensure the band appeared on the show, This story developed further when the people running the Popworld website actually disappeared without fulfilling there obligations to award prize monies to The Superkings, when contacted a channel 4 director offered to help the band by introducing them to " the right sort of people " however as of todays date 17th September 2009 the band have not had any further contact with channel 4. On the 27th April 2007 Channel 4 announced that they would not be recommissioning the show, and after 6 years on air, popworld ended on 14 July 2007.
