TVN (stylized as tvN; formerly known as Channel M) is a Southeast Asian pay television channel managed by CJ E&M. It broadcasts a variety of South Korean TV series from TV channels operated by CJ E&M (which includes the South Korean channel of the same name, as well as Mnet, OCN and others), with a number of original shows made for the Southeast Asian version.

The channel was launched on October 26, 2009 as tvN and was later rebranded as Channel M on November 23, 2012.[1][2] It reverted to tvN on June 3, 2016.[3]
