The 24-hour channel will be available on digital television free-to-air, and will broadcast a selection of original and unscripted programmes.
Fear Factor, singing competition Killer Karaoke and survival series Redneck Island are among the shows which will be broadcast.

Redneck Island features iconic wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin, while a group of hillbillies compete for food and immunity from the 'beer ballot'.

truTV is also the home of Storage Hunters, which is currently shown on Dave in the UK.
Turner Broadcasting's Jemma Yates said: "truTV is larger than life compulsive viewing. The channel invites the audience into the worlds of real people in real life situations and gives them a chance to experience the often explosive, amazing and always entertaining situations that ensue.
"From the everyday encounters of two well-versed American brothers in a Chicago-based pawn shop in Hardcore Pawn: Chicago to the cringe-inducing spectacle that is Killer Karaoke, this is enthralling entertainment at its very best."
