"We try our best to respect the game and showcase and display it in a fashion that might be a little bit more appetizing for a different group of people that are watching alongside the best play commentators on Earth."
truTV started hosting TNT Sports prime time programming in March, which featured programs leveraging the properties within the Warner Bros. Discovery portfolio.
And truTV could use the attention. In 2023, the network ranked 84th in ratings across all viewers, with an average audience of 120,000, an 18% drop from the year before.
The "TNT Sports on truTV” programming lineup will feature live, studio, and pre-recorded content regularly televised weeknights from 6 p.m. to late-night ET
The broadcast reached 11.6 million unique viewers across networks, up 20 percent vs. last year. Its average of 5.5 million viewers was up 14 percent YoY.
"Our strategy on sports may be slightly different, we don’t have a sports network, per se, so we need to be disciplined and very choiceful about the things that we agree to do and want to do. But once we do, once that becomes part of our portfolio, we go all in.”
"We look forward to honoring the content that moved audiences in 2026 and continuing the Gracies’ long-standing investment in the people who will shape what comes next.”
