Comedy Central becomes Animation Central
The channel best known for laughs is paying nearly $400,000 each for episodes of Futurama...
This will be Comedy Central's pricest rerun buy of all time. Though they claim that they are still solely focusing on original programing. CC has not bought 72 30 minute shows of Futurama for $400,000 a piece. They will be sharing their time slot with Scrubs.
Futurama will be hitting the Comedy Central airwaves January of 2008 after Fox's contract with Cartoon Network's Adult Swim ends in December of 2007.
