History

The channel was firstly launched on October 26, 2009 as tvN and was later rebranded as Channel M on November 23, 2012, which serves K-POP and K-Variety.[1][2] It reverted back to tvN on June 3, 2016, which also carried dramas from CJ E&M's sister channels.[3]

The channel is available in the Philippines, where it is distributed by Creative Programs of ABS-CBN Corporation[4] when their sister cable provider Sky Cable stopped airing the channel in the Philippines starting September 1, 2021.[5] However, it's still available through PLDT's Cignal & Smart GigaPlay.

The channel was closed down in Vietnam on July 2, 2018 (as tvBlue, although the channel has relaunched with contents from other broadcasters).
