Scripps Launches Two New FAST Channels Featuring Court TV And Laff Brands

The E.W. Scripps Co. today launched Court TV: Legendary Trials and Laff More — two free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels based on its popular brands Court TV and Laff.

Court TV: Legendary Trials “features the nation’s most compelling, high-profile cases over the past 30 years, curated from the massive Court TV archives.” Presented in four-hour chapters, Court TV: Legendary Trials streams four iconic trials from morning to midnight Monday through Friday, with weekends devoted to viewing marathons of the trials. Current Court TV anchors and reporters serve as guides, providing new commentary, context and analysis. Initial trials featured include the murder trials of Jodi Arias (8 a.m.-noon ET), Wisconsin v. Kyle Rittenhouse (noon-4 p.m. ET), Wisconsin v. Jeffrey Dahmer (4-8 p.m. ET) and Florida v. Casey Anthony (8 p.m.-midnight ET).

Head of Court TV Ethan Nelson said: “People have flocked to our website to watch Court TV’s trial archive, and when we’ve posted clips on other digital platforms, including YouTube, they’ve watched in record numbers. In just the past year alone, Court TV more than doubled its hours of viewing on digital/streaming. We anticipate that Court TV: Legendary Trials will be added to the must-watch lists of the enormous number of true crime fans.”

Laff More “features comedy around the clock, with a hall of fame lineup of sitcoms.” The channel is an extension of Laff, the first over-the-air broadcast television network devoted to contemporary comedy sitcoms and movies geared toward adults 18-49.

Court TV: Legendary Trials is available on Fubo TV, Amazon Freevee, Xumo Play and Plex. Laff More can be seen on Amazon Freevee, LG Channels, Xumo Play and Plex. Additional platforms and on-demand options will be announced.

These additions bring the total number of Scripps FAST channels to nine, with others including Court TV, Scripps News, Ion and brand extensions of Ion, Bounce and Grit.
