Warner Bros. Discovery to Overhaul TruTV With Sports; Sets Nightly Block for Games and More (EXCLUSIVE)
Warner Bros. Discovery will overhaul reality-focused cable outlet TruTV with a new nightly sports block that will include new programs and big games.
Warner intends to air new “alterna-casts” that target different audiences; a new live half-hour “TNT Sports Update” each evening at 6 p.m.; and a new weekly program based on the social-media driven clip showcase “House of Highlights.” The league’s current deals expire at the end of the 2024-2025 season, and interest in getting even a sliver of games is said to be intense among both traditional TV players and new digital video counterparts. At 5 p.m. each evening, regular Cartoon Network fare such as “Teen Titans Go!” and “The Amazing World of Gumball” fades away in favor of young-adult-skewing series such as “Rick and Morty” and “American Dad.”
