Comedy Central is a cable network by birth, but we all outgrow things. Comedy Central never broadcast over the air like the major networks did (sorry, antenna fans), but the rise of the internet gave it more power than ever to reach viewers without having to go through the big cable and satellite companies. That happened thanks to an invention called live TV streaming services.

Live TV streaming services are, of course, streaming services. They stream over the internet like Netflix does. But they offer live TV, not on-demand content, and they boast bundles of network television channels that cable (and ex-cable) subscribers will recognize. These services are your way to watch Comedy Central without cable, and because they are delivered over the internet, they can put your Comedy Central livestream on any device – your phone, your computer, or, of course, your big TV.

Read on to find out which live TV streaming services will let you watch Comedy Central without cable.

Sling TV appeals to those of us who want a more customized TV experience. Sling TV recognized that consumers hated the bloated, inefficient cable bundle system. But a super-skinny bundle has problems of its own, because the consumer has no say in which channels make the cut and stay in the trimmer bundle. Sling TV solves this problem by offering subscribers their choice of one (or both) of two base packages, then allowing those subscribers to build out a custom bundle using small add-on bundles called “extras.” Comedy Central fans can feel free to customize as much — or as little — as they want. See our full review of Sling TV for more information, or sign up for the service and see for yourself.
