Back in the late 80's early 90's I was still in the Cable Television business. AT the time I was big on the idea of two channels that were trying to get launched. The Science Fiction Channel and Court TV.
The Sci-Fi channel story is interesting and fun, but I was told that I was nuts to support the idea of Court TV. I would always reply "2 big trials is all the channel needs"
The first was the Menendez Brothers trial. The second was OJ.
Both channels are still here, altough radically changed.
