COMEDY CENTRAL LAUNCHES SATELLITE RADIO STATION AND DIGITAL STUDIO

Comedy Central put out a press release that they are launching a new Siriux XM-branded station that will feature a bunch of pre-recorded Stand-Up Comedy shows and even feature exclusive talk shows hosted by well-known comedians. The infinitely cooler news for Comedy Central is that they are launching a new Digital Studio with the purpose of distributing new content that would include both original works for live-action AND animation.  According to a separate press release:

CC Studios will serve as a destination where comedy and technology collide across multiple platforms to produce original share-able content for millennials.  The goal is to provide a creative playground for the comedy community where comedians, directors, writers and animators can develop and cultivate their passion projects and further engage their peers and fans.

This isn’t Comedy Central’s first foray into online animated comedy, I just hope they stick to it this time. That said, they did a brilliant online marketing routine for Brickleberry’s first season which certainly helped in sending it to a second season. That said, this new initiative should be interesting and hopefully the content is too.
