U-Pop is a satellite radio channel programmed by Washington, DC based WorldSpace Satellite Radio. It is heard globally on WorldSpace's Afristar and Asiastar satellites, and in North America on XM Satellite Radio; channel 29 on both services. The channel features hit music from around the globe including hits from Europe, Japan, Africa, America and Latin America. Most of the music on this station are generally more cutting edge than most other Top 40 music.

In November and December of 2006 and 2007, XM placed U-Pop on temporary hiatus to free up channel 29 for its "Holly" Christmas music format.

Ted Kelly is sometimes heard joking about smoking his bong-ra and hanging out with his partner in crime, Long John Dowling and causing Singapore to prime their sticks for caning. Unfortunately, John Dowling has decided to retire at the end of the month [4/2008] to pursue his life long dream of being a professional shuffleboard player in the southern Florida league near his majestic estate.
