OJ Simpson Parole Hearing: Watch the Live Stream Here (Video)

Simpson will be seen for the first time since his 2013 hearing

TV viewers might feel like it’s 1995 all over again on Thursday, when O.J. Simpson is set to dominate the news cycle once more with wall-to-wall coverage of his parole hearing in Carson City, Nevada.

How can TheWrap readers watch the whole thing unfold live? Well, you’ve got a myriad of options. For starters, check the live stream at the top of this post, which will be active when it’s “go”-time at 1 p.m. ET.

If that alone doesn’t satisfy your thirst for the Juice, then perhaps extended coverage across broadcast and cable will! Check out the coverage plans for specific networks below.

NBC
The “Today” show’s Savannah Guthrie will kick off the day speaking exclusively with Chris Darden, an attorney and prosecutor from the 1995 O.J. Simpson “Trial of the Century.” Darden will also contribute to NBC News’ coverage throughout the day, when “NBC Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt takes the reins beginning at 1 p.m. ET.

ABC

ABC News will air a special report on the parole hearing beginning at 1 p.m. ET anchored by George Stephanopoulos with correspondent Matt Gutman reporting from Nevada. Chief legal analyst Dan Abrams and correspondent Deborah Roberts will provide additional insight. Brad Mielke will anchor the network’s multi-camera live stream and the Simpson story will also be prominently featured on “World News Tonight with David Muir” and “Nightline.”

CBS

CBS News will air a special report of Simpson’s testimony and the decision live on its broadcast network. Extended live coverage of the hearing will be streamed live on CBS News’ digital platforms, including CBSN, the 24/7 streaming news service. CBS News Correspondent John Blackstone will report from Lovelock Correctional Facility and CBS News Legal Analyst Rikki Klieman will contribute to the coverage.

Fox News Channel
Fox News Channel will cover the hearing live throughout the day with correspondents Claudia Cowan, Jonathan Hunt and Dan Springer offering updates. Geraldo Rivera and FNC contributor and Mark Fuhrman — yes, that Mark Fuhrman — will provide additional analysis. That’s not a joke, that’s really happening.
