The Tribune Broadcasting station group will launch Crime Watch Daily, a new one hour, daily program in fall 2015. The show, which will originate from Los Angeles, is produced by Telepictures Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
The Crime Watch Daily team of experienced reporters go across the United States to uncover local stories and turn them into national headlines. Its reporting is designed to give viewers the story behind the story — unique angles, in-depth interviews — following them to completion.
