Turner Content Solutions sells TruTV content to Korean channel

Following the launch of the TruTV Asia channel, which premiered earlier this year in Singapore and is now available in Indonesia, Maldives, Vietnam and the Philippines, Turner Content Asia has sold over 100 hours of programming to Korean Channel KMH.

The programming comprises of top-rated international shows highly anticipated in the Korean market, such as World’s Wildest Vacation Videos, Smoking Gun Presents, Body of Evidence and Speeders.

Ringo Chan, senior vice-president at Turner Content Solutions, said, “This deal with KMH further demonstrates that TruTV is a popular source for syndicated content as its real-life viewing enjoys very broad appeal.  TruTV has been building a strong fan-base in Southeast Asia and we are pleased that our programming is able to expand beyond the channel for the benefit of viewers in other regions, such as North Asia. We expect the TruTV series will be met with equal success as they have in other markets around the world.”

The channel’s unstaged, unscripted, 100 per cent genuine programming is designed to give viewers the opportunity to watch moments of real drama unfold with real consequences.
