Hero is a Finnish television channel owned and operated by Nelonen. It started broadcasting on 10 November 2014[1] The channel targets young adults.[2] The channel is available on digital terrestrial MUX C on channel 14,[3] as well as on cable television companies in much of Finland.

History

Nelonen Media announced the creation of a new, advertising-financed television channel in October 2014.[4] The line-up consisted of successful international TV series and movies, as well as the airing of several consecutive episodes of the same series on a given day, or spread throughout several days.

Initially, the channel aired from 6pm to 1am on terrestrial TV and cable. The cable line-up expanded its airtime on 1 September 2015, starting from the early afternoon. Due to the licensing agreement, the terrestrial feed continued operating only from 6pm.[5] Hero moved to MUX C on 1 July 2023,[6] and from 1 July 2024, its terrestrial airtime was reduced to one hour, between 12am and 1am.[7]
