Rock Entertainment (formerly RTL CBS Entertainment and Blue Ant Entertainment; stylized as ROCK entertainment) is a 24/7 Southeast Asian English-language television channel owned by Rock Entertainment Holdings. Launched in 2013, it was initially called RTL CBS Asia Entertainment Network, a joint-venture of RTL Group and CBS Studios International.[1] This channel launched on September 1, 2013 which focuses on entertainment and variety shows and broadcast in high-definition. Within 2 years, the channel became available in 2015 to Philippine cable viewers with a separate feed.

On January 1, 2018, the channel was renamed Blue Ant Entertainment after Blue Ant Media's acquisition of the said channel, along with Blue Ant Extreme.

On August 18, 2021, it was announced that Blue Ant Entertainment and Blue Ant Extreme will rebrand to Rock Entertainment and Rock Extreme starting September 1.[2] Blue Ant Media Asia, the owner of the said channels, was officially renamed as Rock Entertainment Holdings and continues to operate other Blue Ant Media channels (Love Nature, Smithsonian Channel, Makeful and ZooMoo), as well as Global Trekker and Outdoor Channel for the Southeast Asian region.[3]

On December 12, 2022, due to restructuring content of Rock Entertainment Holdings as focused on movies and it was announced from their sister channel, Rock Action would launch.[4]
