Warner Bros. Discovery Launches Nightly Sports Block on TruTV

The move aims to revitalize the network, shifting 'Impractical Jokers' to TBS and introducing a variety of new sports programming.

Warner Bros. Discovery announces a new nightly sports block on TruTV, starting March 11, featuring live sports, original programming, and more.
The move includes shifting 'Impractical Jokers' to TBS this summer, with the series continuing to simulcast on both networks through early April.
The sports block aims to enhance TruTV's value, drawing broader viewership and potentially higher ad revenue and carriage fees.
New programming includes 'TNT Sports Update,' 'The Line,' 'Handles,' sports movies, documentaries, and a weekly 'House of Highlights' show.
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to compete more directly with sports giants like ESPN and Fox Sports, and to prepare for critical negotiations with the NBA.
