Crier Canned at Court TV; Show cancelled

Court TV Cancels Crier Court TV has cancelled legal news show Catherine Crier Live after a seven-year run. The star’s contract was up and the network wants to fill more of its schedule with the entertainment shows it programs in prime. Staffers were informed today at a 3:00 p.m. meeting. The show, which premiered in January 2000, clashes with Court’s new stepped-up focus on unscripted drama. In March, Court announced it will ditch its name and change its programming under a rebrand slated to take effect Jan. 1, 2008.
