In 2004, recognizing the growth of its primetime programming, Court TV split itself into two divisions. Daytime trial coverage was branded as
Court TV News, and primetime and weekend programming was branded as
Court TV: Seriously Entertaining.
Time Warner bought full control of Court TV in 2006 and began running it as part of Turner Broadcasting. The buyout of Court TV marks Time Warner's first instance of buying a TV network—rather than selling one—since the acquisition of TBS Networks in 1996.
Transition to truTV
As part of the rebranding, daytime trial coverage, which previously aired from 9:00AM ET to 5:00PM ET, was cut back to 9:00AM ET to 3:00PM ET and branded as
"In Session." From 3:00PM ET to 5:30AM ET on weekdays and throughout the weekend, it runs original investigation-based programming and several new reality shows not related to law enforcement.
