Ovation: The Arts Network is a digital cable television channel that airs programming dedicated to the Fine Arts. It is the only channel of its kind and features programming devoted to Music (Jazz, Classical, Pop), Opera, Dance and Drama. In addition, Ovation features in-depth profiles on various artists and performers, Arts news from the U.S and around the world and special programming aimed at children.

Ovation launched in April 1996. It is currently available via a select few cable providers in approximately 5.3 million homes, mostly in large cable markets.

On August 30, 2006, a group led by Bob and Harvey Weinstein (through The Weinstein Company) and Hubbard Media Group announced that they had purchased the channel, and intend to expand its carriage via DirecTV and adding extra cable providers to its rosters, along with expanding the network's programming without diluting the focus of the network.
