What’s the HITS NOW TV channel in Singapore?

An Entertainment Upgrade for Bustling Households

Want more quality time on the sofa, and less time deciding which TV series to watch? After a long day of work, school runs, enrichment classes and dinner, the last thing most families want is to spend downtime scrolling for something to watch. For many households, entertainment works best when it’s easy, enjoyable and offers something everyone in the family can agree on. That’s where HITS NOW comes in.

Designed for viewers who want the latest hit series, globally loved franchises and major live television events in one place, the channel makes home entertainment feel effortless. Since its launch in February 2023, HITS NOW has become a go-to TV channel in 14 million homes across six markets – Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Instead of jumping between multiple streaming platforms, viewers can tune into a curated line-up of premium TV series including US dramas, UK reality favourites, entertainment news and live global events, all programmed for a seamless viewing experience.

Something for everyone in the household

One of the biggest challenges in family homes is finding entertainment that suits different tastes. Parents may want a compelling drama, teens may prefer talent competitions, while younger viewers enjoy recognisable family favourites.

HITS NOW brings together a broad mix of top-tier US television and globally loved formats, making it easy to please everyone under one roof. Drama lovers can dive into compelling favourites such as Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Sheriff Country (Morena Baccarin) and Matlock (Kathy Bates), while comedy fans can enjoy light-hearted hits like Ghosts (featuring Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver).

For shared family viewing, the channel also features some of the world’s most beloved reality and talent franchises, including Britain’s Got Talent, American Idol, Survivor, Top Chef and America’s Got Talent. Add in the latest and hottest Hollywood updates from Entertainment Tonight, and there’s always something fresh to enjoy.

More than snackable clips – full, immersive viewing

Short-form clips may dominate social feeds, but there’s still something special about settling in for a full episode, an entire season or a major live event together at home.

HITS NOW is built for those moments. From premium long-form storytelling to full live awards broadcasts, it gives viewers the complete entertainment experience.

For pop culture lovers and households who enjoy hosting friends for watch parties, HITS NOW also brings the world’s biggest awards shows straight into the living room. Since 2023, the channel has been the APAC-exclusive home of the Grammy Awards, and has since expanded its live line-up with six major events: the Golden Globes, Grammy Awards, EE BAFTA Film Awards, BAFTA Television Awards, American Music Awards and the Primetime Emmy Awards.

Each broadcast airs live, unedited and in full, offering the authentic front-row experience as it happens.

What to watch on HITS NOW?

The months ahead bring even more reasons to plan a cosy night in.

In April, movie lovers can look forward to award-winning movie favourites such as The Revenant (featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy) and Gran Turismo (featuring David Harbour and Orlando Bloom), alongside gripping limited TV series premieres like The Guest (featuring Eve Myles and Gabrielle Creevy) and the latest season of the long-running true crime hit, Snapped: Killer Couples.

May continues the momentum with the premiere of the highly anticipated, spy thriller television series, The Agency (featuring Michael Fassbender and Richard Gere). Not forgetting some of the global events happening such as the same-day telecast of the star-studded 2026 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises (hosted by British comedian, actor, presenter and writer, Greg Davis) on 11 May from the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London and the 2026 American Music Awards (previously hosted by Jennifer Lopez) airing live on 26 May.

By June, family viewing gets another boost with the return of global favourites America’s Got Talent (Express from the US) and MasterChef US (Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Tiffany Derry). Movie nights are also covered with crowd-pleasers including Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (voices of Shameik Moore as Miles Morales and Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy), The Garfield Movie (voices of Chris Patt, Samuel L. Jackson, Snoop Dogg) and the return of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (hosted by Jimmy Kimmel).
