"Snip" ABC, Court Cases
Primetime Nightline Debuts with Casey Anthony Hour
By Chris Ariens on June 22, 2011
The interest and ratings wins have extended to the broadcast nets too. Friday night, NBC had the #1 show in younger viewers with a two-hour Dateline, the second hour of which was devoted to the Anthony trial.
True crime author Aphrodite Jones writes about the Orlando media circus in todays NYPost:
HLNs Jane Velez Mitchell showed up, with women going gaga over her in the ladies room. Some of the people waiting on line to get into court each day have as much interest in seeing their favorite TV news stars touching them, shaking their
hands and taking photos with them as they do in the actual trial. Its weird.
Witnesses are already demanding money for interviews. Everyone involved wants to cash in. Some key people have made it clear to Nancy Graces producers and others that they will not talk without compensation.
CBS stopped sending a reporter to court shortly after opening arguments last month and gave back its assigned courtroom seat. Apparently, the network didnt think itd be needing it anymore.
Tonights Primetime Nightline is the first of 13 episodes the ABC News show will produce this summer.
