TNT Comedy (from 2012 to 2014 glitz * and from 2014 to 2016 TNT Glitz ) is a pay TV channel of Turner Entertainment International . It was launched on May 1, 2011 in Latin America and Brazil under the name glitz * , where it replaced the local versions of Fashion.TV . On September 20, 2011, the Turner Group announced that glitz * would also start in Germany in May 2012. It was hoped to be able to compete with the broadcaster sixx , which serves the same target group on free TV. However, Glitz can only be received via pay TV, making it Turner's fifth pay TV broadcaster in Germany.

history

Glitz * started on May 8, 2012 in SD and HD . The HD branch has since been distributed via the digital package “Kabel Digital Home HD” or “Premium HD” from Vodafone Kabel Deutschland , “DigitalTV ALLSTARS + HD Option” from Unitymedia , and via Telekom Entertain in the package “HD”. The slogan of glitz * was "the sun is shining here". Like sixx, the station's program should be aimed at women.

Glitz * was renamed TNT Glitz on April 1, 2014 to match its sister stations . The new slogan is "We are pink". Since then, the station has also been broadcast in HD on Sky .

On June 1, 2016, the station was renamed again, this time TNT Comedy. It will mainly focus on comedy formats. Various series therefore switched between the individual TNT channels.
