Paramount text

I no longer have Sky/digital so I can't check, but last time I saw Paramount text wasn't really an the air anymore, merely just the last issue of Mailbox and a tv guide (which auto-updates). I know certainly that 'Ed' no longer works it. Is the "Although the channels still have a Teletext service..." line correct? 9cds 17:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, an Auto-updated TV guide and the last issue of mailbox count as a Teletext service, don't they? Not a major one, but you get something by pressing the button... If you disagree about that counting, change it.--Occono 14:33, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Move gone wrong?

Seems whoever moved this article did it wrong.. anyone know how to fix it? -- 9cds(talk) 19:15, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All fixed. --AntzUK 21:46, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why's it been moved anyway? The article says nothing about the channel being renamed 'Paramount Comedy 1'. BillyH 17:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know to be honest. The TV Guide on their website still says 'Paramount Comedy' I just moved it as the previous move didn't work. I've moved it back. --AntzUK 19:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Infact, the Sky EPG says it's got a 1 in it. I'll leave the article as it is (with Paramount Comedy 1) and still have the article at 'Paramount Comedy'.--AntzUK 20:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

new Viacom or CBS?

After Viacom's split, what is the "Paramount Comedy 1"'s owner? CBS or new Viacom?

Answer: Still part of Viacom, and as far as I'm aware is part of MTV NE.

Merge the Paramont Comedy/Paramount Comedy 2 articles?

I merged them yesterday without a conscensious, which I do apologise for. I just thought that rather than having a stub for Paramount Comedy 2, and a full article for Paramount Comedy 1 (which is called "Paramount Comedy 1" now), it would be better to have one article for the 2 channels, since they are both owned by the same group and show very similar programmes (if not the same shows!).

I was not aware that I needed a conscensious to merge the articles, and I am sorry for that. So I'm asking for one now. :-) Should the PC and PC2 articles be merged, or should PC just redirect to PC1? — Preceding unsigned comment added by HillValleyTelegraph (talk • contribs)

It would appear it's still called Paramount Comedy (or at least, according to the website). As for the merge, we have ITV1 - ITV4, and other such channel pages. Why not for Paramount? (Oppose) -- 9cds(talk) 15:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
regarding the name, the webpage is actually fairly ambiguous as to what it is called. The listings up at the top have a link for PC1 and PC2, and there is this and this image which show Paramount Comedy 1, however this page http://www.paramountcomedy.com/whatson/ refers to it as Paramount Comedy. I no longer have pay-tv so can not check what the on-screen branding is, anyone else? As for the merge, I Oppose the suggestion. Yes PC2 is small, but that just means it needs expanding. (note also added merge templates so highlight this discussion). MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 16:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Paramount Comedy 1 and 2 seem to be going in slightly different direction with respect to content at least in prime time- one of the two tends to focus more on British comedy and live standup while the other is more sitcom based IIRC (I can't recall which is which). The differentiation between the two is surely enought to warrent seperate articles (hence oppose move).

Fair enough, move opposed. What is needed though is the move of this page to "Paramount Comedy 1", as this is the name of the channel and is the on screen branding. I guess they just haven't updated their website.

I've moved this page to 'Paramount Comedy 1' as the channel name is now that. If anyone disagrees with this move, then by all means move it back. --AntzUK 18:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this page could become a link page, to Paramount Comedy 1, Paramount Comedy 2 and the Spanish version?

Disambig. page

  • This is referring to the Paramount Comedy article which seems to shame the same talk page as 'Paramount Comedy 1'
  • Is this a disambiguation page? I think not. They all refer to the same 'Paramount Comedy' brand, owned by the same company, just broadcast in different countries. Disambig. is used to describe things which have the same name - just completely different objectives/purposes/uses.
But they're different things :) -- 9cds(talk) 12:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Irish adstream?

Does anyone know when the adstream for the Republic of Ireland was launched? I know it wasn't too long after it was added to NTL Ireland's analogue pack, but I don't know when exactly. Anyone know? Maybe someone could find the Ofcom licence, since it has to be registered as a seperate channel. - Рэдхот 13:33, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have a citation for...

...criticism of Paramount showing That 70's Show with the word ass bleeped out? It recurs a lot in the show and it makes it too frustrating to watch.

They do it alot with certain shows. I was watching the King of Queens the other day and there was a piece of dialogue that went "Your wife took the time to cook this, the least you can do is eat it you ungrateful _____ *laugh track*--HellCat86 21:31, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
