truTV Asia to Air Black Gold

HONG KONG: The series Black Gold is to make its debut on truTV in Asia on September 4.

Black Gold joins truTV Asia’s existing lineup of edge-of-you-set actuality programming, which also includes The Smoking Gun Presents, The Principal’s Office, Speeders and The Investigators. The show looks at the high-stakes world of drilling for crude oil that fuels America.

“The quest for oil and its dramatic consequences have captured the world’s attention in recent months," said Sunny Saha, the senior VP and general manager for Turner Entertainment Networks Asia. "For those who want the real story, Black Gold is an unfiltered look into the lives of drillers who risk it all in the race to tap the nation’s last remaining reserves.”

“Black Gold remains one of the highest ratings series on truTV in the U.S. and we’re sure that with its fascinating premise, it will be equally appealing to our Asian viewers. The premiere of Black Gold on truTV in Asia furthers our programming strategy to bring the region captivating, unscripted content that puts viewers in the middle of the action,” added Saha.
