CBS's flagship station in New York, WCBS-TV, will begin using courtroom footage from Court TV on its 11:00 p.m. newscast, the station said Tuesday.

News director Joel Cheatwood told today's (Wednesday) New York Daily News that the Court TV material will help the station "diversify and expand" its crime coverage. "They follow ongoing trials far more closely than we can, or any TV station can, so it works for us," Cheatwood said.
