TVN (stylized as tvN; formerly known as Channel M) is a Southeast Asian pay television channel managed by CJ E&M. It broadcasts a variety of South Korean TV series from TV channels operated by CJ E&M (which includes the South Korean channel of the same name, as well as Mnet, OCN and others), with a number of original shows made for the Southeast Asian version.

History[]

The channel was launched on October 26, 2009 as tvN and was later rebranded as Channel M on November 23, 2012.[1][2] It reverted to tvN on June 3, 2016.[3]

The channel is available in the Philippines, where it is distributed by Creative Programs of ABS-CBN Corporation.[4]

The channel was closed down in Vietnam on July 2, 2018 (as tvBlue).

The channel stopped airing in the Philippines on Sky Cable starting September 1, 2021, due to unspecified reasons.[5] However, it's still available through other providers such as Cignal.
