truTV Scores Network Records in Delivery of Key Demos During First Year of New Branding

December 10, 2008

As it nears the end of its first year as truTV, the network is celebrating a number of victories, including best-ever deliveries of male viewers in the network's 17-year history and a significant drop in the network's median age, according to year-to-date data from Nielsen Media Research. The network's success over the past year included the launches of several original series that garnered time-period growth for the network in delivery of adults and men 18-49.

"Our first year out of the gate with new branding has been extraordinary, with all of the elements coming together to position truTV as an exciting new voice in the cable world," said Marc Juris, executive vice president and general manager for truTV. "Next year, we look forward to continuing to build and expand the truTV brand and the network's signature �actuality' programming."
