History
Initially launched as SkyHD in September 2003 as part of Skylife's channel lineup, its name was changed to HDOne in September 2007 and the channel started broadcasting on other cable TV providers. The channel was renamed Channel N in July 2012,[4] with programming focused on mainly foreign television series and movies. On August 1, 2014 its programming was changed to airing reruns of Korean dramas and its name changed first to Sky Drama, and then on March 16, 2020 to SKY. On April 29, 2022, SKY changed its channel name to ENA, which the channel made its availability outside Skylife such as their competitors B tv and U+TV.[4][5]
KT Corporation announced the channel rebrand in April 2022 with the aim of transforming it into a top brand in Korean pay television.[1] SkyTV CEO Yoon Yong-phil said that they would create over 30 new drama series and 300 entertainment shows over the next three years for ENA and channels operated by SkyTV.[2]
