Paramount Comedy

Background
Paramount Comedy was launched in Russia in 2012 and television brand in the United Kingdom (not in 2009) but the Comedy Central Extra one on November 1, 1995, in Spain in March 1999, in Ireland on May 9, 2004, in Italy on December 1, 2004, and in Russia on April 1, 2012. Paramount Comedy also launched in the Middle East and North Africa in 1996, but it went defunct in 2000. In both the United Kingdom and Spain the channel originally shared the broadcast channel with corporate sibling Nickelodeon, but later the two separated. In Arabia, the channel time-shared with TV Land but the two networks disappeared in 2000.

On 12 February 2009, Paramount Comedy UK&I announced that it was to re-brand as Viacom's international comedy brand Comedy Central on 6 April 2009. Later, most of the rest of international versions of Paramount Comedy completed the re-brand to Comedy Central: Paramount Comedy Italy on May 1, 2007, and Paramount Comedy Spain on May 14, 2014.

By 2017, the channel is one of the last to retain the Paramount Comedy branding. Most have become Comedy Central and the only other holdout is Ukraine (Paramount Comedy launched there in 2017).

(2012-2010s)
Logo: Depends on the variant.
 * River: We see a shot of Moscow, Russia, which includes some red buildings and a road right next to a river. We next see another shot of Moscow, Russia, this time including the Saint Basil's Cathedral. We then see the 1st shot of Moscow, Russia, this time, the camera moving towards the river. The Paramount Comedy Channel logo tends to rise on the river, and as it begins to rise, the camera zooms into the Paramount Comedy Channel logo. Once it's done, the Paramount Comedy Channel logo floats on the river, while the camera gets back to its position.
 * TBA.
