Court TV Taps into Turner Library

NEW YORK, July 17: Court TV, which Time Warner took full
control of in May, is planning to tap into the resources of its parent company
with a new Thursday-night crime and investigation movie strand.

Most Wanted Movies launches August 17 at 8 p.m. Each week it
will house a recently produced feature film in the crime and investigation
genre from Turner Broadcasting System’s library.

"Court TV has aired films regularly for many years, but
Turner's film library is a treasure trove for any programmer and really takes
our movie offerings to the next level—we felt like kids in a candy
store," said Court TV COO Art Bell. "We selected these films
strategically, with the goal of reaching new viewers and exposing them to our
original programming through the portal of blockbuster films. It is the first
of many opportunities we hope to explore as members of the Turner family."

Films selected to air under the Most Wanted Movies banner
include Seven, In the Line of
Fire, A Few Good Men, The Client, Runaway Jury, Pelican
Brief, Analyze This, Donnie Brasco and Bad Boys.

The network has also unveiled highlights for its fall 2006
slate, with six series, six feature documentaries and two specials set to
premiere, and five series in development, plus returning flagship series such
as Forensic Files, Psychic
Detectives and Dominick Dunne:
Power Privilege and Justice.

New series include Speeders, slated to launch in August; SWAT USA, which premieres in September; and Beach
Patrol: Miami Beach. For 2007, meanwhile,
Court TV plans to launch the anthology series 'Til Death Do Us Part with underground film director John Waters.

New investigative series coming to the channel include America's
Crime Writers Investigate: Murder They Wrote,
in which noted crime novelists present a real-life case they are intrigued by;
as well as Missing Persons Unit,
which launches August 30.

On the documentary feature film front, the schedule includes
On Native Soil, based on the 9/11
Commission Report and narrated by Kevin Costner and Hilary Swank; as well as SPAM:
The Documentary, The Man Who
Would Be Polka King, Murder in
the Dark, K-11: The Pink Cell and The Exodus Project.

The specials slate includes Stories of the Innocence
Project: Broken Words, about the
exoneration of wrongly imprisoned men and women, plus Cell Phone
Justice and Disorder In The Court.

Court TV’s development slate includes Bounty Girls, about a Southern Californian team of female bounty
hunters; Call 911, reenacting calls
to the police; Divorce Story,
which follows couples as they go through the arbitration process; Phenomena
Police, focusing on a team of paranormal
investigators; and Real Hustlers,
where former con men and women offer tips on how to avoid getting conned.
