Sky Comedy is a British pay television channel owned and operated by Sky, a division of Comcast, which launched on 27 January 2020,[1][2] replacing Universal TV.[3] It is the first dedicated full-time comedy station in Sky's channel portfolio since the closure of The Comedy Channel in 1992.
Sky Comedy broadcasts imported programming from US networks such as corporate sibling NBC plus premium channels HBO and Showtime, broadcasting classic sitcoms as well as comedy films, live stand-up and talk shows.[1][4] From 1 September 2021 onwards, Sky Comedy started airing the comedy output previously shown on Sky One, which closed to make way for two new channels, Sky Showcase and Sky Max.[5]
Sky Comedy launched in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on 1 April 2021.[6]
