Yey! (stylized as YEY!) is a Philippine children's pay television channel created by ABS-CBN, and was one of the freemium channels of ABS-CBN TV Plus.[2][3][4] Yey! was the second animation channel of ABS-CBN, after Hero TV. The channel aired Filipino-dubbed Japanese anime series and foreign cartoon shows, along with imported programming from ABS-CBN's former main channel and Hero TV.
Yey! was first known as a digital free-to-air channel that was first launched on January 3, 2011 in 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 (July 1 outside Metro Manila), the channel closed due to the alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) against ABS-CBN TV Plus.[6] The final anime series broadcast on the channel was Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card.[7]
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.[8][9][10] Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card resumed airing on A2Z and completed all the episodes.
On April 14, 2024, Yey! block was discontinued on Jeepney TV.
