Comedy Central News will be a satirical news programme covering every possible hot topic from sports to pop culture, American politics and local news.
The programme is produced by the same company behind Starsat's critically acclaimed ZANews: Puppet Nation, Both Worlds. It will be anchored by comedian, Sne Dladla.
CCN is not South Africa's first satirical news show. There is the aforementioned ZANews, and then there was Late Night News with Loyiso Gola which ran for eight seasons on eNCA.
Comedy Central News will also not be the first Comedy Central News in the world. The brand (which includes the name and format) has been running in different European countries, like the Netherlands, for a while now.
CCN premieres on Comedy Central Africa (DStv 122) on October 3rd at 9pm, complementing the channel's main American satirical news programme, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, which airs Tuesday through Friday at that same time.
