The network had it’s highest-rated month ever in June, topping MSNBC in both primetime and total day numbers and also beat Fox News during their 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. blocks when most of the trial’s testimony occurred.

Next week, the network will attempt to replicate the ratings bump by returning to across-the-board coverage of the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray (who is accused of causing the June 25, 2009 death of Michael Jackson), starting Sept. 27.

The Joy Behar Show will be focusing on Jackson’s life and his complicated family dynamic, while Dr. Drew Pinksy will be tasked with “demystifying why players at the heart of this story do what they do.”

As a run-up to the programming push, HLN will debut its two-part documentary “The Death of Michael Jackson: Dr. Conrad Murray on Trial,” hosted by Grace, Saturday Sept. 24 at 9 p.m.
