Legal and true crime network, Law&Crime, has announced an agreement with the National Content & Technology Cooperative (NCTC), which will make the network available to approximately 700 NCTC member cable and broadband operators, and their viewers. The new agreement, which runs through 2026, allows all members to provide Law&Crime’s live trial network and also its library of VoD content. Coming off major deals with Dish and Verizon Fios, Law&Crime has been expanding its cable distribution and seeing record viewership with big trials including Johnny Depp, Alex Murdaugh and Gwyneth Paltrow. During the Johnny Depp trial alone, Law&Crime garnered over 1 billion views across all platforms with well over 3.5 million concurrent viewers having watched the verdict alone.NCTC operates as a programming, broadband solutions, wireless and hardware purchasing organisation for its member companies. Approximately one-third of all households and businesses across North America utilise NCTC members’ services, which provides Law&Crime with the potential for significant viewership opportunities across NCTC’s members’ platforms.“Our agreement with NCTC is another important step to continue our rapid expansion,” said Andrew Eisbrouch, COO & General Counsel of Law&Crime. “We are looking forward to delivering our compelling and unique content to more audiences than ever before.”
