Refreshed Crime + Investigation® on DStv

A+E Networks® Africa has unveiled a refreshing Crime + Investigation® (CI), introducing a refined positioning, updated on-air look, and enhanced programming strategy on DStv channel 170.

As part of the new Crime + Investigation vision, the channel will invest in content that immerses audiences into real crime scenes and labs, police investigations and courtrooms, allowing viewers to join detectives and distraught family members in their pursuit of truth.

According to Patrick Vien, Executive Managing Director, International, A+E Networks,"Crime + Investigation has a fiercely loyal and passionate fan base worldwide.

“We are thrilled to unveil this evolved vision which will help us to continue elevating the crime genre with thought-provoking, investigative storytelling driven by human ingenuity”, he added.

Mr Yusuf Nabee, General Manager for Africa at A+E Networks said, “The slate of new content on Crime + Investigation is one that will without a doubt appeal to super fans and captivate new ones.

“Some of the key programming include series such as Crimes That Shook Britain where Dermot Murnaghan returns to uncover the truth behind the crimes that shocked the country.

“Join us from March 20 at 6pm, as we shed new light on the chilling crimes that created shock-waves across the country and changed the UK forever.”

He revealed The Jail: 60 Days In offers an unprecedented look at life behind bars at Indiana's Clark County Jail premieres on April 10 at 6:50 pm.

“Here, seven innocent volunteers are sent to live among its prison’s general population for 60 days without officers, fellow inmates, or staff knowing their secret”, he said.

Others are Monster in My Family which starts on April 18 at 6:50pm. It tells the stories of the dual lives of some of the most notorious serial killers, from the inside, with unprecedented access to their family members and intimate friends who reveal what was happening on the seemingly normal and non-criminal side of the killers, while they were carrying on their reigns of terror on the outside.

He added that Britain’s Darkest Taboos is another premiere season on April 28 at 6:50pm and tells the stories of some of the most shocking and disturbing crimes within families and relationships.

The month of May will see the much anticipated Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath heading to the CI channel.  Actress Leah Remini stunned the world by abruptly leaving Scientology after 34 years.

“Now Leah is bringing her shocking story to A+E from May 3 at 6pm, for an eight-episode documentary series. As a reluctant advocate, she helps rescue Scientologists desperate to leave the Church.

 

 “She also tells the story of her dramatic and often painful personal journey through Scientology, from joining at age 9 to abruptly leaving in 2013”, he said.
