Nelonen Media announced the creation of a new, advertising-financed television channel in October 2014. [4] The line-up consisted of successful international TV series and movies, as well as the airing of several consecutive episodes of the same series on a given day, or spread throughout several days.

Initially, the channel aired from 6pm to 1am on terrestrial TV and cable. The cable line-up expanded its airtime on 1 September 2015, starting from the early afternoon. Due to the licensing agreement, the terrestrial feed continued operating only from 6pm. [5] Hero moved to MUX C on 1 July 2023, [6] and from 1 July 2024, its terrestrial airtime was reduced to one hour, between 12am and 1am. [7]
