Cinema One is a movie feature channel of ABS-CBN. It is accessible through Direct-To-Home cable subscription service (exclusive only to SkyCable), through the internet (ABS-CBNNow! service) and worldwide (The Filipino Channel).
Launched in May 2001, Cinema One is a 24-hour Tagalog movie channel created for lovers of Tagalog movies, with titles ranging from classics to blockbusters and award-winning films. Its library covers all genres from romance, drama, comedy, action, horror and fantasy films, produced by country’s top movie outfits. Local productions are also available to cater to viewers’ craving for showbiz updates.

The channel started in 1994 when i-Channel merged with Classic 21 to form Sky 1, which was launched with morning schedules containing public affairs, business and mostly Filipino movies. Seeing audience growth in the movies being shown, in 1998, Sky 1 became Pinoy Blockbuster Channel wherein programming was reformatted to show series of movies produced by local productions. Supported by its large and growing avid viewers, in May 2001 Pinoy Blockbuster became Cinema One, this time showing not only local movies but acquired foreign films as well.
