Channel U (marketed as U頻道, formerly named 优频道) is a Singaporean free-to-air television channel owned by Mediacorp. It was launched on 6 May 2001 by SPH MediaWorks. On 1 January 2005, the channel was transferred to Mediacorp after a merger between SPH MediaWorks and Mediacorp.[1]

The channel's programming consists of Chinese-language series and shows produced locally and imported from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, as well as Korean-language series provided by KBS, MBC and SBS. Channel U's programming is available subtitled in local languages on optional subtitle tracks, and dual-language option (Mandarin and Korean) is available for Korean-language programs.
