History

ABS-CBN TV Plus (2011–2020)

Yey! was first known as a digital free-to-air channel that was first launched in 2011 as test broadcast. On February 11, 2015, the channel became available on ABS-CBN TV Plus in the digital box channel 4. [5]

On June 30, 2020, the channel ceased broadcasting permanently due to the alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida. [6] [7] On September 10, 2020, the frequency for Yey! (from channel 43) had been recalled by the NTC. [8] In January 2022, the former frequency for Yey! was awarded to Apollo Quiboloy's Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI). [9]

Programming block (2021–present)

On November 6, 2021, Yey! was relaunched as a programming block on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z (under "Kidz Toon Time" and "Kidz Weekend"), and Jeepney TV. [10] [11] [12] Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card resumed airing on A2Z and completed all the episodes.

On April 14, 2024, ALLTV will block on Yey! as a blocktimer on Jeepney TV. It airs the reruns of the several fantasy drama series produced by ABS-CBN.

Programming

Anime series and cartoon programs were divided into various programming blocks.
