NEW YORK, January 30, 2018 - Coming off its highest-rated week of 2017, Comedy Central shot out of the gate in 2018 to become the #1 full-day cable entertainment network for January among Men 18-24 and Men 18-34, during which the #1 brand in comedy registered its highest-rated month since September 2017 in total day among Adults 18-49 and 18-24, Men 18-34 and 18-24, and Women 18-49.

Year-over-year Comedy Central saw total day gains of +3% among Total Viewers and Adults 18-49 driven by a surge among Women 18-49 (+19%) and Women 18-24 (+29%). January marked its highest-rated month with Women 18-24 since April 2015. Overall, Comedy Central's total day share among Adults 18-49 grew by +8% compared to the prior year.

Off linear, streams on Comedy Central's owned and operated digital platforms were up +34% in January versus the year-ago period, led by The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and stunts surrounding Broad City and Corporate. (Source: Adobe Analytics 1/1-1/22)

Factoring into the big gains in January were a New Year's day marathon of Chappelle's Show (up +47% among total viewers and +40% among Adults 18-49 vs. YAGO) and the return of Drunk History, the premiere of scripted series Corporate, and newly acquired series The Office.
