About Comedy Central
Comedy Central runs South Park, which has been on air since 1997, and made The Daily Show a significant source of political news for younger American viewers. It was formed in 1991 by merging two competing comedy channels. South Park's creators signed deals worth several hundred million dollars to keep the series there, an unusual sum for an animated show and a measure of what it means to the channel.
