CTV Comedy Channel primarily airs [[sitcom]]s and [[stand-up comedy]] programming (including anthologies and specials), with much of the latter coming from the channel's association with the Montreal-based [[Just for Laughs]] comedy festival. The network also produces its own original programming, with several series (such as ''[[Puppets Who Kill]]'', ''[[Odd Job Jack]]'' and ''[[Kevin Spencer (TV series)|Kevin Spencer]]'') developing cult followings and loyal fan-bases. ''Puppets Who Kill'', ''[[Comedy Now!]]'', ''[[The Gavin Crawford Show]]'', and several other Comedy original series have gone on to win [[Canadian Comedy Awards]], including [[CTV Television Network|CTV]]'s ''[[Corner Gas]]'', which has also won six [[Gemini Award]] wins, seven [[Leo Award]] wins, and an [[International Emmy]] nomination. The channel subsequently produced a continuation of ''Corner Gas'' as an [[adult animation]] series, ''[[Corner Gas Animated]]''.<ref name=":0" />

The network has historically had a relationship with [[Paramount Global]]-owned [[Comedy Central]] in the U.S. In June 2007, Comedy's parent company (then known as [[CTVglobemedia]]) announced a deal for exclusive Canadian rights to the entire Comedy Central library of past and present programs on all electronic platforms, under a multi-year agreement with Viacom.<ref>[http://ctvmedia.ca/ctv/releases/release.asp?id=9603&yyyy=2007 CTV and Comedy Central deal for laughs; CTV strikes multi-platform content deal for laugh nets' program library] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402203823/http://ctvmedia.ca/ctv/releases/release.asp?id=9603&yyyy=2007 |date=April 2, 2012 }} CTVglobemedia press release June 27, 2007</ref> For several years, Canadians attempting to visit Comedy Central websites were redirected to the Comedy Network's website.
