Why You Should Be Watching Court TV!

In this age where reality shows are a dime a dozen, more and more people are discovering that there are some things that are stranger than life to watch - and most of them are on CourtTV!

From the latest in the O.J. Simpson case to the Anna Nicole Smith custody battle to the less publicised cases around the country Court TV has provided live and informative coverage for years without missing a beat. For those looking for a glance inside the inner workings of the American legal system Court TV has everything you want and need.

When Court TV first hit the airwaves in 1991 people were skeptical - what sort of audience would want to see live coverage of a trial from start to finish? Would people want to see the jury being selected? Wait for the prosecution to present their case and then the defense? Sit around and wait for a verdict? The amazing truth was shown in the ratings - people were intrigued to see what happened inside the legal system as never before.

Interviews with lawyers, witnesses and psychologists create a vibrant atmosphere where the trial ceases to be a dry, boring affair and instead takes on a life of its own as the anchors, usually lawyers themselves, take the legal process and make it accessible to the mainstream public.

CourtTV's biggest coup to date has to have been their coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial over a decade ago. From the start of the murder trial to the suspense over the verdict to the stunning results, Court TV reporters were there to give every intimate detail and to inform the public beyond what the regular news outlets were providing.
