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.[2][3]

The channel was launched on 1 February 2012 by Viacom International Media Networks The Americas[4] and its website was launched on 11 November 2011, two months before the official start of the channel.[5]

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.[6]

Since 6 June 2024, the channel is managed and transferred to Europe by the hand of Paramount Networks EMEAA.[7]

Programming

In Latin America, Comedy Central has three different programming schedules for each of its two feeds, which are Panregional feed (Northern[8] and Southern feeds[9] merged on 26 March 2023)[10] and Brazil feed.[11]
