Law&Crime has migrated Court TV’s live broadcast and free ad-supported streaming television operations to Amagi CLOUDPORT, moving the network from a patchwork of manual systems to a single automated cloud platform, the companies announced on Tuesday.
The transition follows Law&Crime’s acquisition of Court TV and the company’s effort to bring the network’s operations in-house. Law&Crime had five months to complete the migration without disrupting Court TV’s programming schedule, which is built around live trials, breaking news and other real-time coverage.
Amagi said its cloud-native platform allowed Law&Crime to modernize Court TV’s infrastructure while avoiding equipment delays that can be associated with traditional broadcast transitions. The company also developed custom automation to support Court TV’s operational workflows during the migration.
Court TV’s live operations are now managed through Amagi Intella, Amagi’s AI-powered managed services platform.
“We had five months to take on Court TV and no room for downtime,” Debasish Mishra, the Chief Technology Officer of Law&Crime, said in a statement on Tuesday. “A migration this complex is never trouble-free — what mattered was having a partner who understood the assignment, adjusted when the plan needed to change, and kept working the problem with us until we were across the finish line.”
Mishra said the new origination infrastructure will allow Court TV to scale across broadcast, FAST and streaming as its distribution footprint grows. Court TV broadcasts around 10 hours of live programming each weekday; under the new workflow, that programming is automatically repackaged into weekend syndication without manual rebuilding.
Before the channel went live on the new platform, Amagi tested each playlist, metadata feed and distribution endpoint against Court TV’s prior setup. When Law&Crime raised late-stage readiness concerns, Amagi added support to the project, including 10 days of hands-on hypercare and an onboarding specialist who was on-site during the first week.
Amagi said the result was a transition across downstream platforms without disruption to live service.
“Migrating live operations without any disruption takes precision, and that’s exactly what our team delivered,” Srinivasan KA, the co-Founder and President of Global Business at Amagi, said on Tuesday. “By unifying broadcast and FAST on CLOUDPORT and automating day-to-day scheduling and playout, we’ve freed Law&Crime’s Court TV team to focus on programming, not operations.”
Srinivasan said completing the unification and automation work in six weeks without service disruption reflected the execution of Amagi’s team and platform.
Amagi provides cloud-based tools for broadcast, streaming and monetization. Its platform is used by media companies to manage channel origination, playout, distribution and advertising workflows across traditional television and streaming environments.
