Law&Crime Acquires Court TV to Boost Streaming Footprint
E.W. Scripps is selling Court TV to the parent company of Law&Crime for under $125 million, with a three-year deal to keep it on basic cable. Law&Crime plans to expand Court TV’s reach via YouTube and social platforms, focusing on live trials and true-crime content, while retaining about a dozen Court TV employees (out of more than 50). The move aims to transform the legacy media asset into a digital-first property.
