Can’t get enough of CBS News’ “48 Hours” television series? There’s a free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel now available to satiate your thirst.
Wendy McMahon, President/CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures, confirmed the launch on Wednesday of a FAST channel devoted to the program. It will feature more than 500 episodes of the true-crime series and is available on CBSNews.com, the CBS News app and on Paramount+, rolling out on partner channels today.
The channel will continue to be available on Paramount’s leading FAST service Pluto TV.
But, starting next week, the rollout will continue across other distribution platforms as the 48 Hours channel also joins Paramount+ Live Channels.
McMahon commented, “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. 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.”
