nounced that episodes of Johnnie Cochran To
night, a talk show hosted by the famed attorney
appearing nightly on Court TV, will air on BET on
Sundays at 11:30 a.m. beginning March 7, 1999.
The half-hour program will consist of a specific
Johnnie Cochran Tonight episode that aired within
the previous week on Court TV.
Recently named one of the top 50 trial attorneys

said Deborah Tang, BET’s vice president of News,
Sports & Public Affairs. “Johnnie’s appeal to our
audience is tremendous, and we are confident that
the show will be a great success on our network.”
“We are delighted to be working with BET in this
innovative and win-win manner,” said Henry
Schleiff, Court TV president and CEO. “Having
Johnnie Cochran Tonight air on BET will not only
enhance their Sunday programming schedule, but
will also serve to promote Johnnie and his series
which can be seen nightly on Court TV.”
The Johnnie Cochran Tonight episode to air will
feature provocative guests and topics that have
specific appeal to BET’s audience, topics of con
cern such as the hate crime case currently on going
in Texas. The show will occupy the Sunday time
slot on BET previously occupied by Real Business.
Real Business will be put on hiatus until further
review.
