Paramount Comedy 2 is a television channel shown in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The channel was previously a so-called 'time-shuffle' service, offering programmes from Paramount Comedy at different times. It has since started broadcasting some different programming from Paramount, often British. It launched on 1 September 2003 on Sky Digital, and followed soon after on 22 September 2003 on Telewest and 15 October 2003 on NTL. Unlike Paramount Comedy 1, Paramount Comedy 2 does not (yet) have a separate adstream for Ireland.
