Asianovela Channel was a Philippine pay television channel created by ABS-CBN and one of the freemium channels of ABS-CBN TVplus. The channel primarily aired Filipino-dubbed Korean dramas and Asian films, along with imported programming from ABS-CBN and its sister channels Cinema One and Cine Mo!. Asianovela Channel operated from 6:00 AM to 1:00 AM on Weekdays and 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM on Weekends. It was available for a free-trial basis from July 30, 2018 to May 5, 2020, alongside O Shopping (standalone DTV), Movie Central, Jeepney TV, and Myx.[2] On June 1, 2020, the channel temporarily took over the channel space of S+A (ABS-CBN Sports and Action).
Asianovela Channel permanently ceased broadcasting on July 1, 2020 due to the alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida against ABS-CBN TV Plus.[3] On September 10, 2020, all the frequencies for Asianovela Channel have been erased by the NTC.[4]
