I altered the text on when Laff airs movies on yet another change over a new month; the network replaced films on mornings w/ 4 episodes of "ALF" on 4 days.


Laff is a broadcast digital subchannel in the United States created by Katz Broadcasting. As its name implies, this channel focuses on comedy, specifically sitcoms from the 1990's and early 2000's. Movies are featured sparingly on weekends and now weekday mornings. The idea for this channel came from the success of Creator/BounceTV and would serve as a testing ground for its future sister station Creator/{{Grit}}. Originally, Katz reached a deal where it would be carried by [[Creator/AmericanBroadcastingCompany ABC-owned stations]], but in 2021 would begin to move off of there and under Creator/IonTelevision channels.

I moved "Everybody Hates Chris" to the former programming list after noticing in the current TV listings that the show's not on Laff again.

Added example(s) I also added to the intro paragraph the fact movies are seen in the mornings after viewing TV Guide's schedule for the week and saw that it now shows movies mornings at 4:30-7 am PDT.

Now that it's a new month, apparently Laff has quit airing old sitcoms as on March on late night Fridays it aired the slightly older comedy "Alf" & will air this Friday "Grounded for Life." Also it quickly brought back "Funniest Pets & People."

Added example(s); I added "The Millers" after discovering it on Laff last morning. I'm unsure if the really old sitcoms are still on Laff's Sat. morning schedule unless I do further research online. If Laff still has "ALF" next month or something from as early as the 80s I could move the vintage comedies to the former programs list.

It's a new month; I learned Laff is airing one vintage sitcom on Saturday mornings as opposed to two as it replaced "The Lucy Show" & "Petticoat Junction" with "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir."

I noticed the schedule change w/ the new year that "Funniest Pets & People" was missing. I then checked Laff's website to learn it removed the show from its lineup. Also I included in the introduction the fact that Laff airs vintage sitcoms on Saturday mornings.

Laff changed its lineup for the 2023-2024 season. I think "How I Met Your Mother," despite heavy promotion, is gone from the channel after it changed studios. Also "Everybody Hates Chris" returned in August but judging by the lack of commercials I assume it's a placeholder show.

Laff is a broadcast digital subchannel in the United States created by Katz Broadcasting. As its name implies, this channel focuses on comedy, specifically sitcoms from the 1990's and early 2000's. Movies are featured sparingly on weekends. The idea for this channel came from the success of Creator/BounceTV and would serve as a testing ground for its future sister station Creator/{{Grit}}. Originally, Katz reached a deal where it would be carried by local Creator/{{ABC}} stations, but in 2021 would begin to move off of there and under Creator/{{Ion}} channels.

While most former series simply had their rights expire, ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' was taken off after racist tweets by its star Roseanne Barr towards former President Barack Obama.

In addition to airing over-the-air, the channel can also be found on Xfinity, Dish Network, and Sling TV providers.
