TORONTO – Blue Ant Media announced today it is launching a new free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel, TotalCrime, in the U.S. on VIZIO WatchFree+.
“TotalCrime serves true crime enthusiasts with a programming line-up stacked with gripping real-life stories depicted in factual series and documentaries,” a press release explains. “The majority of the channel’s lineup is FAST exclusive true crime programming available only to TotalCrime audiences.”
With the launch, VIZIO WatchFree+ audiences now have unlimited access to Blue Ant’s extensive true-crime library, including Confessions of a Serial Killer (pictured above, 18 x 60), “which uncovers taped confessions of the most notorious serial killers in history” and I Didn’t Do It (7 x 60’), “a series that exposes the untold story of wrongful convictions, one gut-wrenching case at a time, chronicling harrowing personal stories and the desperate search for the real criminals behind the crimes,” the release says.
Today’s announcement comes as Blue Ant has been gaining momentum in the FAST channel space and follows the launch of Blue Ant’s Love Nature brand on VIZIO WatchFree+ last year.
“Additionally, last month, in support of Earth Day, Love Nature launched ‘Love Earth’, a one-month pop-up channel on VIZIO WatchFree+, fueled by Love Nature’s original series and documentaries,” the press release says.
“We’re excited to be expanding our distribution with VIZIO and bringing TotalCrime to millions of viewers engaging with the compelling, free content on WatchFree+” said Jamie Schouela, president, global channels and media, Blue Ant Media, in the release. “Our programming line-up is curated with intriguing and shocking factual content that true crime superfans can only find on TotalCrime.”
“We are proud to continue to offer our audiences dynamic and binge-worthy content,” said Katherine Pond, vice-president, business development, VIZIO. “Working with Blue Ant Media’s diverse and engaging content is what helps make VIZIO WatchFree+ a destination for anyone looking to dive into new content.”
