Humor is something which is known to connect people across age, time and language. A lot of importance is given to humor when it comes to a healthy and happy lifestyle. Generally, after coming back from a hectic day at work, one would want to relax and watch something which makes them happy and makes them laugh their lungs out. With passing time, the concept of comedy has changed, evolved, improved and developed. Since the dawn of television in the entertainment industry, comedy has played a very important role in connecting people.
Comedy central is one such platform which has been entertaining viewers with world class comedy shows. When it started in the year 1991 it was named The Comedy Network. Since then, it has focused on creating inevitable fragmentation of niche audiences. Comedy Central in other countries does not experiment with new content on the channel as the American content has created its viewer base almost everywhere and is doing pretty well.
The channel has been successful in providing creative content and consistent programming which has encouraged regular audience engagement since the beginning. Now Comedy Central, which was originally launched in America, has become very famous in many other countries, especially India. We have seen a tremendous change in the preferences of the Indian audience in the last decade. The millennials, specifically, are more attracted towards American shows. The channel was launched in India in the year 2012 and it telecasts some of the most famous American sitcoms which are doing great in India.
These days, people want to relax at home with their friends. After a hectic week at work, people generally do not want to go out clubbing or partying. The shows on Comedy Central are such that you can enjoy it with your friends. Also, in a lot of cafes in India, one can notice Comedy Central playing all the time. Although, the channel has a niche market, it has been successful in creating a loyal viewer base for itself. The channel is available online as well where it telecasts all the past episodes of the current shows. This has made it easier for people to enjoy the shows anytime and anywhere.
There is no perfect definition of entertainment in todays’ world. With the change in the demands of the viewers there has to be an increase in experimentation even when it comes to comedy.
