Court TV will carry the televised feed of the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial, which is scheduled to begin next week in Fairfax County, Va.
The network will be the pool feed provider for the trial, and plans to provide coverage of the proceedings.
Ethan Nelson, Acting Head of Court TV, said in a statement, “Court cases that are as high-profile as this one often create a lot of noise, and it can be difficult for viewers to break through these distractions to have a clear picture of the facts, but that’s where we come in.”
Depp filed a 50 million defamation suit against Heard after she wrote a Washington Post essay in 2018, headlined “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.” Although the essay didn’t mention Depp by name, he claims that it damaged his reputation and cost...

Court TV is about to make history. Starting May 4, the Supreme Court of the United States will provide the network and select members of the news media access to live Supreme Court oral arguments.
The Supreme Court’s move to allow live audio of its oral arguments is historic — the court rarely releases same-day audio and typically waits until the end of the week to release audio from its oral arguments from the prior days. Court TV will telecast Supreme Court cases from May 4 through May 13, including several cases involving President Donald Trump, one of which will center on the president’s alleged attempt to shield his tax returns and other financial records.
Court TV will present the arguments live to viewers using a similar production model as its coverage of the recent camera-less Harvey Weinstein rape trial earlier in the year, presenting images and graphics of the litigants and...
