Quick Facts Country, Broadcast area ...

Comedy Central Spain was launched on 1 March 1999.[1] Like Comedy Central's version in the United Kingdom, the channel originally used the name Paramount Comedy and only broadcast from 7PM to 7AM, due to sharing its signal with Nickelodeon,[2] but later on 1 February 2005 both channel gained independent signals.[3] It broadcasts a mixture of comedy series (both Spanish and international) and original programming with Spanish comedians.

The original programming is produced under the umbrella of the Nuevos Cómicos (new comedians) program. The original Nuevos Cómicos program is a stand up comedy program, whose comedians also make theater performance tours since 2001.[4] Some of them are Joaquín Reyes, Carlos Clavijo, Alejandro Angelini, Belén Rubio, Ernesto Sevilla, Diego Wainstein, Micky McPhantom, Juan Diego Martín, Raúl Cimas, Carlos Ramos, Ignatius, Don Mauro, Ricardo Castella, Alex O´Dogherty, Julián López, Dani Mateo, Sandra Marchena, Velilla Valbuena and Ángel Martín.

Other programs developed from comedians who started in Nuevos Cómicos are the sketch program La hora Chanante and late night shows Noche sin tregua and Nada Que Perder.

On 1 September 2009, the channel got a new logo, similar to the one used by Comedy Central in the 2000s although the channel still retained the Paramount Comedy name.[5] On 14 May 2014 the channel was rebranded, and finally adopted the Comedy Central name.[6]
