8 February 2022

TotalCrime offers a line-up stacked with true crime series and documentaries

Blue Ant Media’s new TotalCrime channel is now available to stream for free on Roku® streaming devices in the U.S., featuring true crime series and documentaries such as Murders, Lies & Alibis, above.

(Toronto, ON – February 8, 2022)  International producer, distributor and channel operator, Blue Ant Media announced today the launch of TotalCrime, a new free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel on The Roku Channel in the U.S. TotalCrime serves true crime enthusiasts with a catalogue of gripping real-life stories depicted in factual series and documentaries. As part of TotalCrime’s offering, three quarters of the channel’s lineup is exclusive true crime programming, available only to The Roku Channel’s audience. The launch builds on Blue Ant Media’s momentum and expansion into the emerging free streaming space and follows several of the company’s FAST channel launches in North America and around the globe, including Love Nature, HauntTV and CrimeTime, TotalCrime’s sister channel, which launched on Roku in Canada in March 2021. 

“Audiences are hungry for true crime programming and TotalCrime’s lineup is jam-packed with exclusive true crime series and documentaries they can’t find anywhere else,” says Jamie Schouela, President, Global Channels and Media, Blue Ant Media. “The fact that our Canadian crime streaming channel has grown 220% in the last 9 months makes us confident that TotalCrime channel will become a fan-favourite for The Roku Channel’s U.S. viewers. Given Blue Ant’s history connecting with niche audiences, we’re well-positioned to continue bringing new channels to the exploding free streaming space. ”

Available now on The Roku Channel in the U.S., TotalCrime’s programming highlights include: Handsome Devils (10 x 60’) which features real stories of handsome and enchanting men who are everything a woman has ever dreamed of only to turn into their worst nightmare; 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 of wrongful convictions and the desperate search is on for the real crimals behind the crimes; Encounters With Evil (10 x 60’), which explores the minds of the perpetrators of notorious crimes, using expert analysis and interviews with those closest to the case; Murder, Lies and Alibis (5 x 60’) a documentary series exploring notorious stories of true crimes in Australia as told by surviving victims, their family and friends, eye witnesses, investigators and perpetrators. Each episode reveals how the crimes unfolded and recounts the personal journeys that each survivor experienced living trauma; The Killer in My Family (6 x 60’), a series that focuses on the stories of the relatives of murderers, revealing how the crimes affected their families and whether there were any signs of murderous intentions beforehand.

The launch grants The Roku Channel’s U.S. audience unlimited and free access to Blue Ant Media’s extensive library of original and acquired true crime-inspired programming. Streamers can find TotalCrime on The Roku Channel in the “Live TV” section on their Roku® streaming player or Roku TV™ device.
