New York, NY - April 22, 2003 - Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B) announced today that it has reached an agreement with AOL Time Warner (NYSE: AOL) to acquire AOL's 50% interest in Comedy Central, for a total of $1.225 billion. Following the completion of the transaction, expected in the second quarter of 2003, Comedy Central will be wholly owned by Viacom and join MTV Networks' lineup of basic cable channels.

So perhaps this will help boost Daria getting onto Comedy Central a little? Could screw up getting Daria on Cartoon Network though. No way Daria is gonna be on TNN either, since that's gonna be renamed to "Spike TV" soon. WTF? Who the hell though of that?

I'm not picky WHAT channel it's on, so long as it's a normal cable channel and NOT Noggin - IE: Comedy Central.

I don't care what channel it's on as long as the eps are uncut and we get to see IIFY and IICY once in a while.
