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]
