On occasions, I WOULD watch repeats of Oggy and Lab Rats Challenge, at least still in the pre-Sony days where the presentation of the channel was still done on the cheap, but I never really liked POP on that basis.
The real channel, in my eyes was Kix, which was essentially CSC's answer to Jetix, back when that channel was nearing the stages of closure. Around 2009-2010, they did acquire the rights to Power Rangers and some anime from Jetix (since they didn't want to air Power Rangers after the Disney XD rebrand) which definitely helped the channel garner quite a neat audience, even acquiring big shows like Dragon Ball Z. And they did do a lot of Power Rangers marathons so much they even opened up a dedicated channel just for Power Rangers over the half term.
Nowadays, Power Rangers is still on POP, or what's left of it anyway, since most of the show has been moved to Netflix. I could be completely wrong however. Nowadays, POP Max seems to be aiming for a much younger crowd than it did during the Kix days, which is a shame but I'm not in their demo anymore so why am I complaining anyway.
POP Max nowadays is just an abandoned wasteland. Wouldn't be surprised if the channel shuts down soon. Same with the CBS channels
