Movie Central was a Philippine pay television channel created by ABS-CBN and one of the freemium channels of ABS-CBN TVplus. The channel's programming consists of mainly foreign and Hollywood movies. It was the second digital terrestrial television-exclusive movie channel after Cine Mo!, which also airs Hollywood and foreign movies in original English audio. Movie Central operated daily from 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM of the following day. It was available for a free-trial basis from July 30, 2018, to May 5, 2020, alongside O Shopping (standalone DTV), Asianovela Channel, Jeepney TV, and Myx.[1]
Movie Central permanently ceased broadcasting on May 5, 2020, due to the cease-and-desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida against ABS-CBN. On September 10, 2020, the NTC reclaimed all frequencies assigned to ABS-CBN.[2]
Most of the films aired on Movie Central were moved to Kapamilya Channel via Movie Central Presents movie presentation block which airs during late night hours, exclusive to pay cable and satellite television, replacing O Shopping.
