Speaking at the Credit Suisse Global Media & Communications Convergence Conference, Dauman said the Comedy Central shows could return if it became possible for the company to make more money off the site.
"In the current economic model, there is not that much in it for us to continue at this time," Dauman said, adding that, “If they can get to the point where the monetization model is better, then we may go back."
