of FOXCRIME on Indovision comes at a time when Indonesians are looking for high
quality entertainment programming to fuel their interest for crime,
investigation and mystery. Crime lovers can now look forward to watching their
favorite crime programs and the biggest blockbuster crime dramas on FOXCRIME.”

Additionally, FOXCRIME
extends its reach in Russia through a new deal with Stream. FOXCRIME will be

Among the highlights for the Russian feed are Criminal Minds, a police thriller starring Mandy Patinkin (Chicago
