Comedia por Movistar Plus+ (formerly known as Canal+ Comedia and Movistar Comedia) is a Spanish television channel own and operated by Telefónica. The channel's programming is based on the movies of the comedy genre.
History
[edit]Canal+ Comedia began its broadcasts on February 1, 2007, replacing Canal+ Cine 2 on the Canal+ satellite platform.[1] Its programming is focused on comedy films (youth comedy, romantic, family comedy, etc. .), complemented by comedy TV series and programs such as Saturday Night Live.[2]
Since November 6, 2009, it broadcasts in 16:9 widescreen format.[3]
As of August 1, 2016, marking one year of the platform, it was renamed Movistar Comedia, eliminating the Canal+ brand due to Vivendi announcing not to continue licensing the Canal+ name. This also brought about a new visual identity of the platform and the channel itself.
On January 19, 2022, Movistar+ changed its name to Movistar Plus+, a change that gave rise to a new name on its own channels and a new visual identity.[4] The channel was renamed Comedia por Movistar Plus+.[5]
