South Park is the highest rated show on Comedy Central. Parker and Stone almost always get their way, and when they don't they embarrass Comedy Central so badly (Mohammad episode) that Comedy Central wishes they hadn't started anything.

CC knows that there are about six dozen other networks chomping at the bit for South Park. Spike, Bravo, Cartoon Network, HBO, Starz, and several others would jump at the chance to get the show if CC gets too invasive.

I think Spike (the old TNN Network), and Comedy Central (the old HA! Channel) were all owned by CBS-Viacom which also owns MTV and Showtime. But I might be wrong cuz I get these mega corporations so confused.

Yeah, but the syndicated shows are heavily edited. My local Fox affiliate shows them, and they are cut up so bad I just quit my Tivo subscription.

If South Park goes to a gay network like Bravo, I hope it won't squash the creativity of the show.
