History

Comedy Central was launched in Russia in 2012, originally under the name Paramount Comedy. This was the name initially used for international versions of Comedy Central during the late 1990s and early 2000s, although it began to get retired during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Since 2014, the channel was one of the last to retain the Paramount Comedy branding, with all of the previous Paramount Comedy channels having already been rebranded as Comedy Central by this point, the only exception being Ukraine.
In mid-March 2022, due to the invasion of Ukraine, Paramount, which owns the MTV brand, decided to suspend its activities in Russia. Initially, the Paramount Comedy channel planned to stop broadcasting in Russia on April 20, but eventually broadcasting was discontinued on April 28. In the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), as well as Georgia, the broadcasting of Russian-language version of this and other Paramount channels is continuing.
On 14 December 2022, Paramount Comedy ceased broadcasting in Belarus.
On 1 February 2023, the TV channel's website shutdown.
On 1 March 2023, both the Russian-language and Ukrainian-language versions of Paramount Comedy were renamed to Comedy Central.
At the end of 2023, the Comedy Central completely refused to translate new episodes of the South Park.
On January 1 2024, series from third-party studios were removed from the network due to the expiration of licenses for them, and most Nickelodeon's animated series were also removed.
On November 18 2024, the channel design was changed.
The channel closed on 1 January 2026.
