Here’s the pre-launch loop they’re running that I’ve captured off Fetch TV:

Sorry about the audio quality – the program seems to want to capture from the microphone instead of the actual audio stream…

channel is up, shame they have decided to put the watermark in top left instead of bottom right like in the US, and instead of just the CC logo, they have the full text underneath.

Video is low quality as well unfortunately, just like other viacom channels on the service like MTV.

Comedy Central has axed The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, with this Thursday’s episode (US time) to be the last. The show began in January 2015 replacing The Colbert Report.

> 
> Made with the support of NZ On Air, the series is set to continue to break fresh ground for content in New Zealand. The original comedy special was praised for its unapologetic depiction of a generation of Polynesian women under a unique comedic lens.
> 
> Creator Hanelle Harris said: "We are so grateful to our people and communities for their love and support for the **SIS** special which premiered earlier this year in July. Originally **SIS** was meant to be a one-off! But because of our audience, we now have the incredible opportunity to make a full season.
> 
> “ **SIS** is more than a television series – it’s a movement. This is a show for us and by us. We stand on the shoulders of our tupuna [ancestors] as we strive to carve out space for the dreams of our future generations, especially our Polynesian women."
> 
> Premiering on Sky, the six-part series will also be available to view online at [comedycentral.co.nz](http://comedycentral.co.nz), followed by a free-to-air broadcast on Prime.

New Zealand produces a lot fresh and innovative programs while Australia is stuck in a rut producing reboots of shows from decades ago.

I’d probably say that the ABC & SBS still bring new and interesting ideas to the table every now and again, but in recent years our commercial networks have definitely been obsessed with reboots and “the big four” reality formats - talent, cooking, renovation and dating/relationship/wedding.

This could be good.

I know UK is a much larger market than Aus, but how can they commission original content for a niche pay tv channel and ours disappears without a word?

Format is licenced by Paramount Global, so could see it land here when it premieres.

Comedy Central UK is Friends episodes almost all day everyday, but they do commission a few local panel/game shows occasionally. It’s a weird operation but does get a prime Sky EPG slot.
