Grab a Date: Thursday Night is Movie Night on Court TV(R) With Most Wanted Movies(SM)
Investigation-Themed Blockbuster Films from Turner Library to Air Thursday
Nights at 8 P.M. ET/PT Starting August 17
PASADENA, Calif., July 14 -- Court TV, acquired in full by
Time Warner in May, takes the first step in maximizing the resources of its
new corporate parent Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. by building on its
movie line up with Most Wanted Movies(SM), premiering Thursday, August 17,
at 8 P.M. ET/PT. Every Thursday at 8 P.M., Court TV will air a
recently-produced feature film in the crime and investigation genre from
Turner's vast library, with a line-up that includes action, drama and
comedy. Scheduling of the films was closely coordinated between all the
Turner networks to maximize audience.
"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."
Most films will run two hours in duration and will feature commercial
breaks. Films longer than two hours will air at 7 P.M. ET/PT. The network's
selections for Most Wanted Movies(SM) include such films as "Seven" (8/24);
"In the Line of Fire" (8/31); "A Few Good Men"; "The Client"; "Runaway
Jury"; "Pelican Brief"; "Analyze This"; "Donnie Brasco" and the August 17
premiere, "Bad Boys," starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence among many
others.
