Onion.tv for comedy
The Onion has meant satirical journalism since 1988.
Why it holds up
A comedy channel named Onion arrives with an implied editorial voice: wry, unimpressed, willing to be funny about serious things. Building that association from scratch takes years. The name does promise a point of view, which a buyer should be prepared to have.
Naming rule for comedy: The name should get a reaction before the content starts.

Working tagline: Straight face, sharp edge.
