Dish Network?

I recently saw an ad run on Dish Network (apparently by the network itself) urging viewers to call Dish and demand that Court TV be reinstated into the lineup. I checked, and the channel name still comes up in the guide, but the programming is not Court TV's. I would be led to assume that they were unable to renegotiate their contract with the provider successfully. Has anyone researched this? I am unfamiliar with both the network and the provider. - Plasticbadge 03:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Here is a link to Dish Network's side of the story: http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/programming/missingchannels/courttv/index.shtml I think that there should be something about this on the page.--Cooleymd 04:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Although I think that there should be a section on the Dish Network / Court TV standoff, I have gone ahead and added a link to the press release on the issued given out by Dish.--Cooleymd 04:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Beach Patrol

There's clearly more than one Beach Patrol. Along with San Diego, there's Miami and Honolulu, apparently. The Beach Patrol: San Diego article is very short and has no talk page, so that's why I ask here: how about we move the article to "Beach Patrol (TV series)", and it can cover all the different ones? --MPD ^{T / C} 19:41, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Trutv.gif

Image:Trutv.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

truTV, Tru_Calling??

So, now, Time-Warner calls it truTV? Is that because it is not quite true?

Court TV Radio Renaming?

Yes, Court TV is destined to be renamed Tru TV. But since the annoucement, a question dawned on me: will Court TV Radio follow this renaming? I know that the possible renaming, "Tru TV Radio", may sound rather absurd, however it should never be fully doubted. --Nebula2357 (talk) 01:04, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Title

Why is the t in tru capitalized in the article title? Shouldn't it be truTV, like it is in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethan c.00 (talk • contribs) 05:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Article Needs Cleaning Up

Uh, basically what the headline says: this article really needs some cleaning up. Half the shows listed aren't on the network at all, its missing alot, and Im not even sure if the same person is hosting Hollywood Heat anymore. Zombified22 (talk) 04:40, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Hollywood Heat

what happened to the show? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.28.93.134 (talk) 20:15, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Personalities

"Former personalities" sounds like people who have been lobotimized. Ick. Surely there is a better way of describing people who've left or lost their jobs. "Former on-air staff" is clearer, I think. "Personalities" is industry jargon. It does not describe the position or the work. It is meaningless to readers unfamiliar with American broadcast industry jargon, and is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Ground Zero | t 11:30, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Reality?????

The operation/operacion repo show needs better actors! And why are there two license plates in the bumpers?? Just curious...Capnjim123 (talk) 00:15, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

shouldn't it be mentioned the shows are fake?

Shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere that despite being called trutv that the shows like the repo one and the pawn one are all scripted and fake? It surprises me it's not in this article somewhere. -Tracer9999 (talk) 01:24, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

History

There is nothing about the history of Court TV, and this:

"Apart from having its own website, it also owns the website The Smoking Gun, which posts things such as mug shots and other public documents. Court TV also owns the website Crime Library: Criminal Minds and Methods, which goes in depth concerning infamous crimes and how they were solved."

Is very poorly written. It also needs to be proven...

I edited the website section, and The Smoking Gun is copyrighted under Courtroom Television LLC

Nothing about the major controversy in early March 2013 of just dropping most of the court coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bostonbarney (talk • contribs) 18:00, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Current programming

Can this be expanded on in the article?

"In October 2014, TruTV's lineup was re-oriented with a focus on comedy programming and comedy-based reality series."

Tru TV's Target Audience?

The language used on the Tru TV shows, which is usually very vulgar and lowbrow (a heavy concentration of "ass" and "pissed off"), suggests that the producers of the shows believe that their target audience is quite young and markedly uneducated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.149.170 (talk) 00:55, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

sister channels?

So infobox in TruTV article lists 2 sister channels: TBS and TNT. However TBS (American TV channel) has longer list of sister channels: Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, CNN, HBO, TNT, TruTV, and Turner Classic Movies. Turner Classic Movies has an even-longer list of sister channels. Should TruTV infobox's list of sister channels be expanded to match the TBS list or Turner Classic Movies list???
