Crime & Investigation, stylized as Crime + Investigation, is the television channel feed of the eponymous American channel owned by A&E Networks broadcast in most of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Based in England in the United Kingdom, it is owned by A&E Networks UK (a joint venture of A&E Networks and Sky Group). The channel primarily broadcasts true crime programming, and edits European versions of the original Crime & Investigation channel in the U.S.
TVT Media is responsible for the signal distribution across mainland Europe,[1][2] and local subsidiaries of A&E Networks are the distribution representatives across Europe.
In Spain, it launched on 1 February 2011 replacing Buzz Negro and was named Crimen + Investigación, and it expanded in Portugal in 2016 as Crime + Investigation[3] and it was operated by AMC Networks International Southern Europe, initially under the joint-venture The History Channel Iberia with A&E Networks/Hearst until 2021.
