Sony Crime Channel Launches In The UK This February

The folks over at Sony have got a new Free-To-Air channel coming to their line up from Tuesday, 6th February 2018 it has been announced. The ‘Sony Crime Channel’ will host a selection of the best scripted and non-scripted entertainment from the genre.

The launch line-up will give people a chance to catch Lionsgate International’s Emmy Award-winning series, ‘Orange is the New Black’ (s1-4), Jed Mercutio’s award-winning cop corruption drama ‘Line of Duty’ (S1-3), the UK premiere of ‘Real Detective: North of the Border’, and crime show stalwarts such as ‘Person of Interest’, ‘CSI’, ‘Deadly Women’, ‘Hustle’ and ‘Law & Order’.

This marks the first time ‘Orange is the New Black’ has come to a Free-To-Air audience, and will air seasons 1 to 4 as a Double Bill every Saturday at 9pm. Another series we love, ‘Person of Interest’, will air all 5 seasons weekdays at 9pm.

‘Real Detective: North of the Border’ gets it’s UK premiere on the channel, and offers a detective’s perspective of the real-life cases that truly challenged them. Cinematic quality recreations powerfully retell the trials and tribulations, the twists and turns, and the highs and lows of each homicide investigation.

To celebrate the launch night SPTN will simulcast ‘Sony Crime Channel’ across its sister channels ‘True Entertainment’ and ‘truTV’ from 9pm in a special event designed to showcase the channel to the biggest audience. The launch will feature a criminally good line-up starting with ‘Person of Interest’ (s1 ep1) at 9pm, ‘CSI’ (s11 ep1) at 10pm and the Free-To-Air premiere of ‘Orange is the New Black’ (s1 ep1) at 11pm.

For those of you looking to find the ‘Sony Crime Channel’, you can get it on Freeview 60, YouView 60, and Sky 157 from Tuesday, 6th February 2018. It will then launch later in the month on Freesat 143 from 13th February.
