Júpiter Comic

Júpiter Comic (formerly known as Júpiter) was the first 24-hour pay television channel in Latin America, dedicated exclusively to humor and comedy. It was founded in Argentina in September 1991 and was owned by Imagen Satelital (later Claxson, currently Warner Bros. Discovery Latin America).

Júpiter was launched in September 1991 as a syndicated non-24/7 service, initially focusing on TV series, documentaries, children's shows, and telenovelas.

1994-1996[]

In 1994, Jupiter was relaunched as a 24 hours service, now focusing on comedy programming.

In 1996, the year of its 5th anniversary, Jupiter renews its image and extends its name to "Jupiter Comic".

In December 2001, shortly after it's 10 years anniversary and a failed attempt to extend it's broadcast area to Latin America, the channel was shutdown, given its low profitability and carriage. Selected programming were moved to I-Sat and Uniseries. It's satellite slot was replaced by the second incarnation of Fashion TV in Latin America.
