Canton Community Tv. will now be one of many media organizations covering the trial. CCTv has worked with the courts for access to give you advertisement and talking-head free coverage. Unfortunately, CCTv is limited in that unlike the big media organizations, Canton Community Tv has no LIVE satellite/cellbox feed and cannot thus stream the pool footage LIVE from court.

Pool camera Video will be available as soon as possible, commercial free, in its entirety.

No Court May 1st:
April 29 DAY 8: Testimony continues today at 9AM. No streaming from CCTv due to technical limitation. You will see the full pool camera video as soon as it is available. Check this page, bottom for links.
April 29 DAY 7: Opening statements are expected today. Because the defense wanted all jurors to see the faces of witnesses (the big courtroom had juror seats where jurors could only see the back of heads) court has been moved to a tiny room where only 10 journalists are allowed. CCTv has been there since early this morning, waiting in line, and will get a seat. (The big media have folks standing in line for them, yet Canton Community Tv’s crew is expected to be amongst the 10.) CCTv will not be able to go LIVE today but will be able to give you the pool tape as soon as possible. CCTv does receive the pool feed and brings back the recorded tape. There are also limited ethernet ports, CCTV has no satellite or huge cell box, so it’s nearly impossible to go LIVE. Watch on one of the major stations and then rewatch on CCTv, on Demand, or on ComCast HD 1073/ Verizon 2143 and commercial free and talking head free. Just the pure court video from the day.
Week 2: April 22-26:
