Sky Comedy is closing in Germany:

Launched in spring 2021, Sky Comedy played a much smaller role in Germany than in the UK, for example, where the channel is home to some U.S. late-night shows, among others. In the first few months, Sky Comedy showed German in-house productions such as "Quatsch Comedy Club" and ""A Brief History of Humor - with Dieter Nuhr." First, "Digitalfernsehen" reported on the plans.

"Our station portfolio is strongly geared to the wishes of our customers and is regularly adjusted accordingly. The media usage behavior of our viewers has changed significantly, and they primarily watch comedy content flexibly on demand via Sky Q or Wow. As a result, we are discontinuing the linear comedy channel," a Sky spokeswoman explained in response to a DWDL inquiry. According to current plans, Sky Comedy will be switched off in mid-September.
