A+E Networks Launches HISTORY Play And Crime + Investigation Play

A+E Networks EMEA's streaming services Crime+Investigation Play and HISTORY Play launch on YouTube Primetime Channels today in the UK.

The streaming services join Primetime Channels as part of the launch line-up after a successful debut in Germany in June.

Crime+Investigation Play goes behind the headlines of some of the most infamous crimes, opening the door to real-life crime scenes and forensics labs, police archives, and courtrooms to piece together the clues, examine the evidence, and uncover the truth. At launch, Crime + Investigation Play will offer subscribers the best of A+E Networks EMEA’s true crime content, including hit series Meet Marry Murder, Robbie Coltrane’s Critical Evidence, and #TextMeWhenYouGetHome available from launch.

More programming highlights include the brand new The Secrets of Penthouse, which follows the rise and fall of Bob Guccione, who made millions with Penthouse magazine by pushing the world of adult entertainment further than ever before, and the second season of Secrets of Playboy, which examines how the Playboy experience continued to affect women’s lives long after they finished posing for the magazine.

HISTORY Play offers award-winning documentaries and factual series, including The Curse of Oak Island, Curse of Skinwalker Ranch, History’s Greatest Mysteries with Laurence Fishburne, and The UnXplained with William Shatner.

Julie Mitchelmore, VP Digital at A+E Networks EMEA, said: "A+E Networks EMEA’s Crime + Investigation Play and HISTORY Play have been strategic partners to YouTube’s rollout of its premium paid channels service in Europe. This UK launch further cements our partnership and consolidates our strategic domestic and international expansion."
