SBS PopAsia began as a weekly two-hour segment on the SBS youth radio programme, Alchemy, as the Asian Pop Show.[6] Due to growing popularity and increasing online fan engagement[7] SBS PopAsia was launched as a 24-hour digital radio show in 2010. In late 2011, it debuted on free-to-air Australian TV in a two-hour timeslot on Sunday mornings from 9am.[8] In 2013, the program was extended to three-and-a-half hours of prime-time broadcast across Saturday and Sunday evenings on SBS Viceland (formerly SBS2).[2] In 2014, it reverted to its original 2 hour timeslot at 9am on Sundays. From March 13, 2016, it changed to a one-hour show on Sundays 10am-11am on the SBS Viceland channel.

PopAsia TV aired its final episode on July 8, 2018.[9] Since then, SBS Viceland has aired repeat episodes in the Sunday morning timeslot.

Live voting opened at 4.30pm (AEST) where listeners tweeted or posted on the Facebook wall the #Hashtag of their favourite song from the top 9. The concept of Titanium Status was introduced in June 2014 where when a song has reached number one for eight consecutive days, it becomes titanium.[13] Despite anticipation that EXO's Overdose would be the first song to reach Titanium Status, in fact label mate Super Junior M succeeded with their song Swing. The other Titanium songs included GOT7's A, Beast's Good Luck (three times), Infinite's Last Romeo, Super Junior's Mamacita (two times) and Infinite's Back. All of the songs that have reached Titanium status are from Korean male groups rather than female groups.

The show aired its final episode on July 8, 2018. The show was rated PG and hence positioned the show as an accessible, family-friendly television programme.[17] The previous weekend's episode could be accessed on the PopAsia website or on SBS on Demand for 7 days after the episode aired on television.[18]

Audience interaction

The show debuted by displaying tweets and Facebook messages at regular intervals throughout the show. However it was replaced by exclusively showing displays real-time audience tweets.[19]

The goal of this game was to guess the common theme between the three Asian Pop videos that are shown. Viewers were encouraged to play along by tweeting or posting their guesses. Previous themes included the beach, vampires, swirly lollipops and Australian Asian Pop stars. SBS PopAsia also encouraged viewers to submit their own three-in-a-row.

Double Play

Every week, the SBS PopAsia gave PopAsians the option of choosing which of two artists should have two of their music videos played in the next episode. The winning artist was chosen through voting on Twitter and Facebook.[21]

Impact

The show is a mainstream acknowledgement of Asian popular music which was previously marginal in Australia due to an emphasis on Western music (Campbell 2010).[2] As it is an SBS program, it has opened up the channel from a traditionally older multicultural audience to Australian youths of all backgrounds.[158]

The show has impacted the accessibility of Asian Pop in Australia. Australia is seen as a small market to consume Asian pop but the program has been able to prove the growing demand for Asian Pop in Australia. This is evident through the increasing number of Asian pop concerts, especially K-Pop concerts in Australia.

As of January 2020, SBS PopAsia has over 1.3 million likes on Facebook, 31 million views on YouTube, 136.9K followers on Twitter, 104K subscribers on YouTube and 43K followers on Instagram.

These platforms have also become an avenue for Australian Asian Pop fans to interact with each other.

SBS PopAsia contributed to the creation of the radio apps, SBSDesi and SBSPopAraby.

Controversy

Despite promoting itself as an Asian Pop TV and radio show, the majority of music played is from South Korea and specifically from male groups. PopAsia has responded by stating that Korean pop is the most requested genre of music. This has polarised the Asian Pop audience. A Facebook group called "SBS Pop"Asia" Sucks" was formed several years ago, which has 7000-8000 members to criticise the radio station's predominant focus on K-Pop. Although the group itself has generated backlash and deemed hypocritical as the administrator focuses exclusively on J-Pop. It has also been pointed out that PopAsia directly violates the charter of SBS.

Awards
  • Winner of Best Interactive Radio Program award at the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Awards in 2012.[159][160]
  • Winner of Advertising and Communication Award and the Grand Award for all categories at the 2012 National Multicultural Marketing Awards[161][162]
  • Finalist for New York Festivals World's Best Radio Programs in the category of Programming Format/Best Alternative Format.[163]
