‘True Crime News’ To Launch On Fox O&Os In Fall

True Crime News, a new daily syndicated crime show from Warner Bros. Television Group, will premiere nationally this September on select Fox-owned stations. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Telepictures.

The announcement was made today by Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group; David Decker, President of Content Sales, Warner Bros. Discovery; and Frank Cicha, Executive Vice President of Programming for Fox Television Stations.

Nationally syndicated, True Crime News will deliver 52 weeks of original programming with breaking crime news, all the cases making headlines, and the latest updates on evolving crime stories, tapping into Warner Bros. Discovery’s vault of crime footage.

True Crime News will be hosted by veteran journalist and eight-time Emmy winner Ana Garcia. A journalist with a background in crime reporting, she is host of True Crime Daily: The Podcast produced by Telepictures. Garcia is also a contributor to 20/20.

Channing Dungey, chairman-CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group, said: “Audiences continue to be fascinated by true crime stories, mysteries, and investigations, and the talented team at Telepictures has developed a distinctive series that is sure to captivate. We’re thrilled to have Emmy winner and expert crime reporter Ana Garcia as host, and we can’t wait for viewers to see True Crime News this fall.”

David Decker, president of Content Sales, Warner Bros. Discovery, said: “We are proud to expand Warner Bros. Discovery’s footprint in syndicated television, and to do it with our longstanding station partners and with a show that truly fits with today’s daytime format needs.”

Frank Cicha, executive vice president of programming for Fox Television Stations, added: “This project works on two fronts. First, it speaks to our audience, and secondly, it creatively delivers a first run program despite syndication’s harsh economic realities.”

True Crime News sets out to advance cases, with a true crime tip line and call to action in every show. It will also work closely with local newsrooms to integrate local crime cases and allow local newsrooms to roll in a crime story in their market.
