A new 48 Hours FAST channel is now available to watch on Paramount+. The channel was already available to stream on Pluto TV, so this marks the first part of an expansion to other services and platforms.
Along with Paramount+, the 48 Hours FAST channel can also now be streamed through the CBS News app and via CBSNews.com. Paramount Global has also confirmed that the FAST channel will come to other distributing platforms soon, and as early as next week.
“48 Hours has tremendous appeal to millions of viewers and is delivering remarkable growth in its 36th season. It truly is the iron horse of the true crime genre and continues to gain steam on every platform as we find new ways to create ubiquitous distribution for this iconic franchise,” said Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures.
In terms of content, the new FAST channel is available 24/7 and features back to back episodes of the popular true-crime series. In total, a library of more than 500 episodes of 48 Hours will be available to the channel, and will routinely be shown in themed blocks.
For example, episodes will be groped together based on themes including Crimes of Passion, Serial and Spree Killings, Criminal Blunders, Evil in the Family, Love Gone Wrong, Wrongful Convictions, Women Who Kill, Houses of Horror, Money Kills, Missing People, Cold Cases, Survival Stories and Hollywood Mysteries.
“We are excited to expand the 48 Hours offering and package episodes in ways that will appeal to both longtime fans as well as new viewers who have just discovered this powerhouse series,” McMahon added.
