Paramount Comedy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paramount Comedy can refer to a number of different comedy television channels operated by Viacom under the Paramount brand:
[edit] Paramount Comedy 1
Paramount Comedy 1 is a television channel shown in the UK and Ireland, available through digital satellite (Sky Digital) and cable (Virgin Media and NTL Ireland). As the name suggests, it is owned by Paramount Pictures (aka Viacom) and concentrates on comedy. Paramount was not the first all-comedy channel in the UK; that distinction goes to The Comedy Channel, which had closed some years earlier.
[edit] Paramount Comedy 2
Paramount Comedy 2 is a television channel shown in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The channel was previously a so-called 'time-shuffle' service, offering programmes from Paramount Comedy at different times. It has since started broadcasting some different programming from Paramount, often British. It launched on 1 September 2003 on Sky Digital, and followed soon after on 22 September 2003 on Telewest and 15 October 2003 on NTL. Unlike Paramount Comedy 1, Paramount Comedy 2 does not (yet) have a separate adstream for Ireland.
[edit] Paramount Comedy (Spain)
Paramount Comedy is a channel available in Spain through satellite plataform Digital+ and cable services. It belongs to the Viacom group.
