"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."

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."
