Say goodbye to CourtTV. Yesterday, the network announced it is renaming itself “truTV” effective January 2008 and largely ditching the law for the reality television route, with production deals signed with Granada America (Nanny 911) and Bunim/Murray Productions (The Real World).

No word yet on how either Barsh’s departure or Court TV’s rebranding will effect Jones’ upcoming show.
