Hong Kong – truTV Asia revs up the drills this month with the premiere of the action-packed, hit series, Black Gold. truTV viewers in Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines will have front row seats to the dramatic, high-stakes world of drilling for crude that fuels America, where mistakes on the rigs might cost jobs or even lives. “The quest for oil and its dramatic consequences have captured the world’s attention in recent months. 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,” said Sunny Saha, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Turner Entertainment Networks Asia. Black Gold’s premiere on truTV Asia this month complements the channel’s existing line up of edge-of-your seat actuality programming, which includes popular series The Smoking Gun Presents, The Principal’s Office, Speeders and The Investigators. “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,” said Saha.
