DreamWorks Channel is a Southeast Asian television network that is owned & operated by DreamWorks Animation International TV.

Singapore based HBO Asia was contracted to handle marketing, sales and technical services for the channel.[1] Some of the channels will be ad supported while some will go ad free. Given that its programming is already involved in other arrangements in the US with Netflix and other, a US channel is not likely.[2]

History

DreamWorks Animation announced on December 9, 2014 plans to launch its own TV channel starting in Asia rolling out over 19 countries in the second half of 2015.[1] DreamWorks Channel launched on August 1, 2015 in Thailand. The channel represents DWA's first foray into operating its own television channel in any part of the world as a result of a joint venture through CTH.[3]


Programming

The content on the channel mainly consists of Netflix original series produced by DreamWorks Animation SKG and DreamWorks Classics library.[1] DWA's movies were not planned to air on the channel.[2]
