48 Hours

48 Hours is the single-franchise true-crime channel from CBS News and Paramount, built entirely around one of television's longest-running newsmagazines. The channel streams episodes of 48 Hours around the clock: investigative crime documentaries covering murders, mysteries and justice, reported by CBS News correspondents across more than three decades of the programme's run. For true-crime audiences it offers a depth of serious, journalism-driven storytelling distinct from the genre's more sensational rivals. The channel is free on CBS News streaming platforms, with viewing information at cbsnews.com. The franchise itself has aired on CBS since 1988, giving the channel one of the deepest single-programme archives in the genre.
