History
Launched in 2013, it was initially called RTL CBS Asia Entertainment Network, a joint-venture of RTL Group and CBS Studios International.[1] This channel launched on 1 September 2013, which focuses on entertainment and variety shows and broadcast in high-definition. Within 2 years, the channel became available in 2015 to Philippine cable viewers with a separate feed.
On 1 January 2018, the channel changed its name to Blue Ant Entertainment after Blue Ant Media's acquisition of the said channel, along with Blue Ant Extreme.
In 2020, Blue Ant Media sold most of its linear television operations in Asia to Rock Entertainment Holdings, a company owned by Blue Ant executive Ward Platt.[2] On 1 September 2021, the channel was rebranded as Rock Entertainment to reflect the new ownership.[3]
On 12 December 2022, Rock Entertainment Holdings restructured their contents, with the plan to focus on movies and special events, which also led to the launch of the sister channel Rock Action as the replacement for Rock Extreme.[4]
