Blue Ant Media Launches TotalCrime in the U.S.

Blue Ant Media has continued its FAST channel expansion with the launch of TotalCrime in the U.S. on The Roku Channel.

TotalCrime serves true-crime enthusiasts with a catalog of factual series and documentaries, three-quarters of which are exclusive to The Roku Channel’s audience. Among the titles available is Murder, Lies and Alibis, exploring notorious crimes in Australia, as told by surviving victims, eyewitnesses, investigators and perpetrators.

Other programs available on the TotalCrime channel are Handsome Devils, I Didn’t Do It, Encounters with Evil and The Killer in My Family.

The launch of the channel in the U.S. builds on Blue Ant Media’s FAST channel catalog, which also includes 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,” said Jamie Schouela, president of global channels and media at Blue Ant Media. “The fact that our Canadian crime streaming channel has grown 220 percent in the last nine months makes us confident that the TotalCrime channel will become a fan-favorite 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. ”
