Universal Crime

Universal Crime bezieht sein Programm aus dem umfangreichen Katalog von kriminalbezogenen Dokumentationen, Justizserien und True-Crime-Formaten, die für den US-amerikanischen Fernsehmarkt produziert wurden. Die werktägliche Programmgestaltung umfasst in der Regel Archivfolgen langlebiger investigativer Sendungen, Gerichtssaal-Analysen und dramatisierte Nachstellungen bekannter Kriminalfälle. An den Wochenenden verlagert sich der Schwerpunkt hin zu abendfüllenden Dokumentationen über Forensik, Cold-Case-Ermittlungen und historische Persönlichkeiten der organisierten Kriminalität. Nachrichtenartige Updates zu laufenden Prozessen oder aktuellen Festnahmen erscheinen in Zwischensegmenten, jedoch produziert der Sender keine eigenen Live-Nachrichten.

Zuschauer können den Kanal über landesweit verfügbare Kabel- und Satellitenpakete empfangen; einige Anbieter bieten eine On-Demand-Bibliothek mit aktuellen Episoden an. Der Online-Streaming-Dienst des Senders erfordert für den vollen Zugriff ein teilnehmendes TV-Abonnement, wobei ausgewählte Clips und ganze Folgen gelegentlich ohne Authentifizierung auf der offiziellen Website veröffentlicht werden.
