The E. W. Scripps Company is winding down some of Court TV’s live broadcasts and web streams, an action tied to ongoing restructuring efforts and planned job losses, ahead of the network and related assets' acquisition by Jellysmack’s Law&Crime owner. This development on February 11 follows Scripps' decision to sell its Court TV franchise to Jellysmack, a "creator growth" company that also owns the Law&Crime Network. Scripps, which operates over 60 stations, acquired Court TV from Turner Broadcasting in 2019 and is selling it amid pressure to reduce its debt. Earlier on February 11, Law&Crime Network executives affirmed plans to maintain Court TV as a linear television network and distinct brand, pushing back on assertions from current and former employees that the channel's days were numbered, made after employees received layoff notices. The acquisition agreement between Law&Crime and The E.W. Scripps Company, reached on February 10, marks a rare instance of a digital-native brand purchasing a traditional linear television network, underscoring the convergence of legacy broadcast assets and creator-led platform-driven businesses. The sale signals a significant shift in how audiences consume legal content.
