In 2005, the broadcaster's parent company CME announced that POP TV was the most-watched television service in Slovenia with a 27% all-day audience share. This compares with an 9% share for the Kanal A operation, rated as Slovenia's fourth-place broadcaster. In 2004, the stations had 28% and 8% rating shares respectively.
