Court TV: The Investigation Channel's ongoing efforts to attract the younger demographic have paid off as original series have proved to be powerhouse performers. Chairman and CEO Henry Schleiff put it this way, "Our new programming builds organically off a proven model of fascinating and riveting storytelling. While our first generation of breakout hits continues to attract loyal viewers and new advertisers, I am equally proud of our newest shows. Innovative, engaging and surprising, they will captivate viewers, as well as provide a valuable home for advertising."

Signature Series
The all-original primetime schedule continues to be a ratings bonanza with hits like "Forensic Files," "I, Detective," "Body of Evidence" and "Psychic Detectives." All of these deliver engaging stories filled with healthy amounts of suspense—a format proven to keep viewers tuned in to find out not only whodunit, but howdunit.

Our 10 p.m. innovative forensics block is "The Investigators," one hour of original award-winning (and audience-winning) documentaries and specials that take a magnifying glass to the most fascinating people pursuing justice and their riveting stories of protecting the public.

New Series in the "Investigation Zone"
Court TV: The Investigation Channel has a programming block filled with shows that expand the limits of the investigation genre.

Coming to the "I-Zone" in 2004-05: "The Chase" (contestants participate in a high stakes race against the clock in this action-packed show where wits count as much as a wealth of high-tech gadgetry), "House of Clues" (real-life amateur sleuthing and snooping yields amazing results); and "Extreme Evidence" (experts take forensic science beyond crime to solve the riddles of spectacular events both natural and man-made). Added to the mix are a slew of new episodes of "Masterminds" (an in-depth look at the people behind the most infamous heists ever attempted), and "Impossible Heists" (the show where real people compete to re-create these astounding capers).
