CBS News launched 48 HOURS, its free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel, today, Aug. 14 on new platforms, it was announced by Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures. 48 HOURS will feature over 500 episodes of the award-winning true-crime series and now be available on CBSNews.com and the CBS News app as well as Paramount+, rolling out on partner channels today. This channel will continue to be available on Paramount's leading FAST service Pluto TV.

48 HOURS on the CBS Television Network has been Saturday's #1 non-sports primetime program for 18 consecutive seasons. And for the first time in the broadcast's history, during the 2023-2024 season, 48 HOURS added more than 1 million viewers in seven-day playback 10 times this season.

"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," McMahon said. "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."

"True crime is one of the most popular genres in free streaming. For decades, 48 HOURS has been the leader, transcending across mediums," said Sahand Sepehrnia, executive vice president of digital content strategy and business for CBS News and Stations, Entertainment and Sports. "We are thrilled to bring the show to an even wider audience with the launch of the show's FAST channel on new platforms. 48 HOURS, streaming 24/7."

"48 HOURS brings you the very best of true-crime documentaries with our deep reporting and taut, smart storytelling. We follow a case from the crime scene to the courtroom with edge-of-your-seat suspense and intrigue every step of the way. It's why our fans tell us that once they start watching a 48 HOURS episode, they can't stop," said executive producer Judy Tygard. "We're also known for our empathy and integrity. While killers often capture headlines, 48 HOURS puts victims and their families at the heart of every episode. The 48 HOURS team can't wait for new fans to discover us."
