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