The problem with Tru TV is it is a mishmash of programmes some of which are quite good if you like that sort of thing. It is trying to be everything to all people, they need to decide which audience they are going after and target the prgramming to suit.

Like i said on Digitalspy they would be better off targeting the kids market during the day with Cartoon Network, Cartoonito and Boomerang programmes. With Adult Swim at night time. But of course due to current OFCOM rules Adult Swim would have to have itw own EPG slot in the entertainment section as they do not permit programming aimed at an adult audience to be shown in the kids section of the EPG.

Failing that i think they need to go for the reality style shows. They seem to do ok when they show Americas Got Talent and Ru Paul's Drag Race. Add some shows like Survivor, The Apprentice, Bake Off USA, The Amazing Race, Solitary, The Mole and you have a channel that might do quite well.
