Hero is the anime cable channel in the Philippines formed by Creative Programs Inc. (the cable subsidiary of ABS-CBN) which also produces MYX, Cinema One, ABS-CBN News Channel, Lifestyle Network Balls, Maxxx and Velvet. So far, it is seen on SkyCable in Metro Manila and in over 200 cable systems all over the Philippines. It is also known as Hero TV by fans and at times by the channel itself probably due to ambiguation purposes.
It is the first and only all-Tagalog-dubbed anime channel. It aired its first test broadcast from August to September, 2005; regular broadcast started on the following month. It was formally launched at the Philippine Trade Training Center on November 12, 2005
Initially, the channel airs between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight; but since April 2006, the schedule has been extended to 2:00 a.m. the next day.
Some anime shown in the channel were also being shown in a special block in the The Filipino Channel called Hero on TFC. The said block lasted from 2006–07 and featured some anime already pulled out of the programming rotation at the time.
