What Channel Is truTV on Spectrum?
Updated
For related channel information, see TBS on Spectrum and truTV on DIRECTV. Our Spectrum provider guide covers the provider in more detail.
truTV doesn't have one nationwide number on Spectrum. Each Spectrum market has its own lineup, so the channel moves around from place to place. In recent official Spectrum lineups, truTV is channel 55 in Manatee County, Florida, channel 65 in Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island, South Carolina, and channel 48 in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
truTV is part of Spectrum's Stream TV Signature, Stream TV Pro and Stream TV VIP plans. It isn't in TV Lite, TV Latino or Stream TV Latino Más. That last one surprises people, because Latino Más does carry TBS. This month truTV is in demand because it carries every American League playoff game alongside TBS.
Quick answer: truTV on Spectrum
- Channel number: varies by market. Examples: 55 (Manatee County, FL), 65 (Murrells Inlet/Pawleys Island, SC), 48 (Brunswick County, NC)
- Plans with truTV: Stream TV Signature, Pro and VIP
- Not included: TV Lite, TV Latino and Stream TV Latino Más
- Why it's busy now: the 2026 ALDS and ALCS are simulcast on truTV, TBS and HBO Max
truTV channel numbers in sample Spectrum markets
Each number below comes from Spectrum's own published lineup for that area. TBS is listed too, since the playoff games air on both.
| Spectrum market (lineup date) | truTV | TBS |
|---|---|---|
| Manatee County, FL (March 2026) | 55 | 23 |
| Murrells Inlet / Pawleys Island, SC (September 2026) | 65 | 32 |
| Brunswick County / Southport, NC (October 2025) | 48 | 27 |
If you're outside these areas, expect a different number. Spectrum can also renumber channels when it updates a local lineup, which is why the dates are listed.
