Asianovela Channel (also known as AC and stylized in all uppercase) was a Philippine free-to-air television channel created by ABS-CBN and one of the former freemium channels of ABS-CBN TVplus on Digital Free TV. The channel aired mostly Filipino-dubbed Korean dramas and Asian films, along with limited imported programming from ABS-CBN, Cinema One and Cine Mo!.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

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.^[8] On September 10, 2020, all the defunct frequencies for Asianovela Channel (from channel 43) have been recalled by the NTC.^[9] In January 2022, the former frequencies for Asianovela Channel are now owned by Apollo Quiboloy's Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI).^[10]
