SBS PopAsia is an Australian digital radio station that broadcasts music, most notably from East Asia and Southeast Asia, on digital radio, online and on mobile devices.[1] The station originated as a two-hour segment on SBS youth radio programme Alchemy before launching as a stand alone digital radio station in 2010.[2]
A television program of the same name was also broadcast on SBS and later SBS Viceland from 2011 to 2018, presenting back-to-back Asian Pop music videos.[3] It was hosted by Jamaica de la Cruz until 2016,[4] with Andy Trieu taking over as host until the show ended in 2018.[5]
PopAsia fans are called PopAsians.[6]
