Sony Pictures Television has announced plans for a new UK channel. True Crime will launch on Tuesday March 22 and focus will be on reality-based crime features through shows including Deadly Women, Crime 360, The Devil You Know and The 9/11 Faker.
Kate Marsh, executive vice president, Western Europe, International Networks, said: “True Crime will be a dedicated crime channel, where viewers who are fascinated by true life stories will be able to have everything in one place. The channel further builds on the success of our Freeview channel portfolio and marks our commitment to the UK television market.”
True Crime is the latest addition to the ‘True’ channel portfolio and will sit alongside True Entertainment (and +1), True Movies 1, True Movies 2 and True Drama. Sony bought the True Movies Group in June 2014.
True Crime will be available on Freeview channel 60, Sky channel 185 and Freesat channel 143.
