CONTENTS is JSONArray inside LIVE JSONObject instead of String which you are trying to get using getString("CONTENTS");. get JSONArray as from main jsonobject:

JSONObject mainJson = new JSONObject(result);
 // get LIVE JSONObject
JSONObject json_live= mainJson.getJSONObject("LIVE");
// get CONTENTS JSONArray from json_live
JSONArray json_contents= json_live.getJSONArray("CONTENTS");

Why to take // get LIVE JSONObject JSONObject json_live= mainJson.getJSONObject("LIVE"); /*Not necessary */

You can directly have access to

JSONObject mainJson = new JSONObject(result);

// get CONTENTS JSONArray from json_live

JSONArray json_contents= mainJson.getJSONArray("CONTENTS");
