Viacom adds two Comedy Central channels in German-speaking markets

September 10, 2019 11.48 Europe/London By Robert Briel

Viacom has expanded its Pluto TV streaming service with two new channels featuring content from Comedy Central.

While Comedy Central Pluto TV shows highlights from the worldwide Comedy Central portfolio, Comedy Central – Made in Germany is exclusively designed for Pluto TV to spotlight local productions and German-language talent from Comedy Central’s library.

These include formats such as Comedy Central Presents: Standup 3000 and stand-up classics from NightWash. The international catalogue will feature formats such as the cartoon reality show Drawn Together, Takeshi’s Castle Thailand and the sitcom Detroiters.

“We’re thrilled to bring some of the best comedic talents from around the world to Pluto TV viewers”, stated Olivier Jollet, managing director Europe at Pluto TV.

“Those still believing that Germans lack a certain sense of humour should turn on Comedy Central – Made in Germany, the place that gives German comics centre stage.“

The two channels are the latest additions to Pluto TV’s offer in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which has already been expanded to include further Viacom content from the Nickelodeon and MTV portfolio. Pluto TV is currently available on Amazon Fire TV, Sky Ticket, Apple TV and the iOS App Store.
