ViacomCBS explained the change of name “in response to market developments and the needs of viewers”.
The new broadcast scheme will offer a combination of comedy series from Comedy Central, such as Sponge Bob, Such a Modern Family or How I Met Your Mother. Viewers can also look forward to the premiere line of the Comedy Club with Czech stand-up comedians. In prime time, the channel will offer Paramount movies every night. In the early days, for example, at the Terminal, films with Eddie Murphy, The Beverly Hills Cop and The Swap, or the film American Beauty.

“Although Paramount Network will no longer be named Prima, we will continue to work with our longtime partner ViacomCBS. In addition to the sale of advertising by the Media Club, our agency Solootions provides communication for the renamed channel, “adds Vladimír Pořízek, Operations Director of the Prima Group.
The Prima Comedy Central program began broadcasting in the Czech Republic on December 14, 2015. It was operated by Viacom International Media Networks (now ViacomCBS), which was also responsible for the content, program and its technical side. The local cooperation with the Prima group supported the introduction of the channel on the Czech market by providing the name of the established brand, and the Media Club sales agency took care of the sale of advertising.
