Asianovela Channel was a Philippine defunct pay television channel created by ABS-CBN and one of the former freemium channels of ABS-CBN TVplus. The channel aired Filipino-dubbed Korean dramas and Asian films, along with limited imported programming from ABS-CBN, Cinema One and Cine Mo!. It operated daily at 06:00 (PST) with sign-off on weekdays at 01:00 (PST) and on weekends at 02:00 (PST). It was available for a free-trial basis.[2]
On June 1, 2020, Asianovela Channel temporarily took over the channel space of S+A (ABS-CBN Sports and Action). However, the 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 former Solicitor General Jose Calida.[3] On September 10, 2020, all the defunct frequencies for Asianovela Channel (from channel 43) have been recalled by the NTC.[4] On January 2022, the former frequencies for Asianovela Channel are now owned by Apollo Quiboloy's Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI).[5]
