Comedy Central is a Latin American pay television channel, owned by Paramount Networks Americas. It was launched on 1 February 2012.[1]

History

Comedy Central Latin America logo from 2012 to 2019

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, Comedy Central rebranded its logo and graphic package, adapting to the new redesign launched two months ago in the United States.[6]

In Latin America, Comedy Central has three different programming schedules for each of its three feeds, which are Northern feed, Southern feed[7] and Brazil feed.[8]
