From July 30, 2018 to May 5, 2020, Asianovela Channel was available for a free-trial basis, alongside O Shopping (standalone DTV), Movie Central, Jeepney TV, and Myx.[2] On June 1, 2020, the channel temporarily took over the channel space of S+A.
Asianovela Channel ceased broadcasting on July 1, 2020 due to the alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida against ABS-CBN TV Plus.[3]
