A source close to the 'BlackGold' syndicated reality series, about the West Texas oil patch and the roughnecks who run it, told me last night that last Wednesday's premiere of the program was the highest rated single show in the 17-year history of Court TV/TruTV. Network execs were reportedly hoping for 900,000 viewers. What they recorded was 1.7 million viewers.
The eight-week miniseries continues Wednesday at 9 p.m. on TruTV.
PROGRAMMING UPDATE: An updated TNT schedule show that the second episode, "Black Gold 102," will air to basic cable subscribers Sunday at 5:30 p.m.
Well, that certainly is good news for us basic cable subscribers. I'll set my vcr. Thanks!
