Best Answer

Time Warner launched The Comedy Channel in 1989. Five months later Viacom launched a rival comedy channel called HA!. The two channels merged into one channel called CTV: The Comedy Network on April 1, 1991. Trademark issues with the Canadian network CTV forced the owners to change the name of the network to Comedy Central on June 1, 1991.

Will Comedy Central's partnership with FOX and Turner Broadcasting be arrived?

Yes, it will be arrived in 2016. So that shows like Archer, Futurama, Home Movies, Beavis and Butt-Head, Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and fewer other shows would join their line-up.Original shows being produced for Comedy Central will be "Mortal Kombat" (an all-new animated TV series adaptation of Tradewest's "Mortal Kombat" video game franchise from Warner Bros.' own DC Animation, which is going to be in anticipation of the upcoming Tradewest arcade video game, titled "Mortal Kombat Mega Mix"), and two new Henson Alternative shows.Comedy Central's television block will be shown up on several Viacom, FOX, and Turner channels, because FOX and Turner Broadcasting are finally appearing to be in their partnership with Viacom's Comedy Central. The television block would most likely consist of original shows being produced by either Sony Pictures Television, Universal Studios, Viacom's CBS and/or Paramount, 20th Century Fox, or Time Warner's Warner Bros., which will probably be filmed at "Comedy Central Studio" (which is being located across from downtown "Orlando, Florida", located nearby where the "Universal Orlando Resort" is around); and of course, the new "Comedy Central Magazine" (which are TV series adaptations of approx. 72 issues per year for Comedy Central's print magazine of the same name), also being filmed at Comedy Central Studio in Orlando.The following TV channels that Comedy Central's own block would air include:FXFXMFXXTNTCartoon Network's "Adult Swim"TBS SuperStationSpike (formerly TNN)

What is a good youtube username for a comedy channel?

Some of my favorite comedians on YouTube are Ryan Higa's YouTube channel and kevjumba. They are my favorites because of their facial expressions and blogging-like style and also because they create content that interests me. If you're looking to create your own comedy channel, just think of a name that relates to you. Maybe your name is Bob and you like bubble tricks, so you can name a channel that combines the two. The best channel names are ones that are easy to remember.
