NBC Universo Picks Up South Park

MIAMI: A Spanish-dubbed version of the long-running animated series South Park is set to premiere tonight on U.S. Hispanic channel NBC Universo.

Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for Comedy Central, South Park is the longest running prime-time scripted series on cable and will be the first animated series to air on NBC Universo. The show revolves around four boys and their adventures in the titular Colorado town. It will start airing on NBC Universo tonight at 10 p.m.

“By adding South Park to our already bold programming lineup, NBC Universo is going where no other Spanish cable network has gone before,” said Arelys Carballo, the channel’s VP of programming. “South Park is a daring series that introduces an irreverent brand of comedy to our Hispanic viewers and adds an exciting twist to our lineup.”
