The Comedy Central App Leaves Plenty Of Content Behind Pay Wall

The Comedy Central app has been years in the making, and launches with a tonne of content to watch on iOS devices. But there are a few drawbacks, like the amount of shows that are stuck behind a pay wall, and some technical blocks that might put prospective customers off downloading it.

Executive Steve Grimes told CNET: "We know that our fans, our core audience are young guys, young people. They want content on various devices. They don't differentiate between platforms." The new app comes in the light of Viacom’s increasing push of multi-platform content.

Bottom line: if you’re a fan of stuff like South Park then you’ll want this app, so you can watch things in bed.
