Hollywood Channel's schedule consists largely of animated and live-action programs aimed at teenagers and adults. Hollywood Channel content is a mixture of original series as well as programs inherited from sister network Disney Channel. The channel also airs music videos in between programs, which serve as filler for programs scheduled to end during the half-hour and last usually around one to three minutes.

New episodes of original series are usually aired at 7:00AM (ET). In addition, Hollywood Channel airs original made-for-TV movies from Disney Channel and theatrically released feature films (specifically those made in the 90s and 2000s).
