WarnerTV Comedy (until 24 September 2021: TNT Comedy) is a German pay television channel, originally launched on 8 May 2012 as glitz*.[1] It is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery International.[2]
In August 2013, SES Platform Services (later MX1, now part of SES Video) won an international tender by Turner Broadcasting System, to provide playout services for Glitz, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, TNT Film and TNT Serie for the German-speaking market, digitisation of existing Turner content, and playout for Turner on-demand and catch-up services in Germany, Austria, Switzerland the Benelux region, from November 2013.[3]
On 1 April 2014 the channel was renamed TNT Glitz and started broadcasting via satellite on Sky Germany. The slogan Here shines the sun ("Hier scheint die Sonne") was changed to We are pink ("Wir sind pink").[4]
The channel changed its name to WarnerTV Comedy on September 25, 2021, after the ad made on June 14 that same year.[5]
