During its first month, the channel launched onBoxer,Canal Digital,Com Hem,Tele2,Telia Digital-tv,SPA,Borderlight andIP Sweden.[4] The channel was added to theViasat platform on September 1, 2009.[5]
On October 5, 2010,The Daily Show premiered on Comedy Central in Sweden, having previously been broadcast onCanal+ andKanal 9.[6] The show is broadcast at 7 p.m. Swedish time, only 14 hours after its original U.S. broadcast, and then repeated at 11.05 p.m. This is unusually fast as American talk shows are normally shown with a one-week delay in Sweden.
