On June 1, 2020, Asianovela Channel temporarily took over the channel space of S+A (ABS-CBN Sports and Action). However, the channel permanently ceased broadcasting on July 1, 2020, due to the alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and former Solicitor General Jose Calida.[3] On September 10, 2020, all the defunct frequencies for Asianovela Channel (from channel 43) have been recalled by the NTC.[4] In January 2022, the former frequencies for Asianovela Channel are now owned by Apollo Quiboloy's Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI).[5]

Most of the acquired dramas by the Asianovela Channel are now expired and no longer holds the legitimate rights to air them.
