TruTV

TruTV (formerly Court TV) is an American cable television network owned by Turner Broadcasting, a subsidiary of Time Warner. The network launched as Court TV (not to be confused with the television genre, court shows) in 1991, changing to TruTV in 2008. Its programming has traditionally been live homicide trial coverage and other criminal justice programming; however, the network has branched out into more "caught on video" reality programs, or as TruTV calls it, "actuality" television. The channel has been highly criticized for allegedly faking their reality shows, including Storage Hunters, Southern Fried Stings, & Operation Repo, which used paid actors working from scripts.
