Court TV has gone through some significant changes. When it relaunches again this spring, one of the talent will be a local TV news reporter from Little Rock.

Chanley Painter recently left KARK-TV to join Court TV as a legal correspondent. What makes her qualified? She has a pretty interesting background: she’s an attorney, a former deputy prosecuting attorney, former Miss Arkansas, fiddle champion and has a black belt in martial arts.

Let’s hope she can help make Court TV better than the previous versions of the network.
