TRU TV To Become The Repo Channel
The Tru TV cable network, once the least watched cable network since C-SPAN when it was known as Court TV, will be changing its name once again. Starting January 1st, the channel will be called The Repo Channel.
The change is unsurprising considering the channel’s recent programming. “We basically only show episodes of Operation Repo anyway, so the change is basically just cosmetic in nature,” said head of programming Frank Turner. Thanks to the four new viewers the channel has gained with the change in programming, TruTV has passed the Catholic channel as the second least watched channel on cable television.
The increase in viewership is no surprise to Turner. “People love to see real-life confrontation, as well as freaks,” said Turner, “and our full lineup of reposession shows provides viewers with both.” Turner concedes that the channels’ previous programming left much to be desired. “That old court television lineup would bore a dead ostrich,” said Turner.
Despite the fact that the channel is supposed to cover a wide variety of reality programming, it settled on its current lineup of repo shows when it was decided that it was the only profession interesting enough to cover on a daily basis. The four new viewers seem to verify this idea.
Turner said he has no plans to add any other types of reality programming to the lineup. “Why fix what ain’t broke,” said Turner proudly.
