Comedy Central is a Latin American pay television channel, owned by Paramount Networks Americas. It was launched on 1 February 2012.[1]
History
Before Comedy Central was launched in Latin America MTV and VH1 aired Comedy Central programming back in the 2000s to 2012, like South Park or Drawn Together.[3][4]
The channel was launched on 1 February 2012 by Viacom International Media Networks The Americas[5] and its website was launched on 11 November 2011, two months before the official start of the channel.[6]
On 26 February 2019, U.S. network rebranded its logo and graphic package, adapting to the new redesign launched two months ago in the United States.[7]
Since 6 June 2024, the channel is managed and transferred to Europe by the hand of Paramount Networks EMEAA.[8]
On 7 October 2025, Paramount announced that Comedy Central would end in Brazil on 31 December 2025.[9] In Hispanic America, the channel will continue to operate.[10]
Programming
In Latin America, Comedy Central has three different programming schedules for each of its two feeds, which are Panregional feed (Northern[11] and Southern feeds[12] merged on 26 March 2023)[13] and Brazil feed.[14]
