Crime Junkie Takes Over Tubi: A Big Move in Streaming

Crime Junkie, the popular true crime podcast, is making a significant leap into the streaming world. The podcast is launching its own channel on Tubi, a free streaming platform, through a $150 million partnership with Fox. This deal allows Fox to share Crime Junkie and other podcasts across various platforms.

A Game-Changer for True Crime Fans

This move is a major win for true crime enthusiasts, as they can now enjoy Crime Junkie's content for free, supported by ads. The podcast's creator, Audiochuck, is expanding beyond audio by introducing video episodes on-demand, reaching a new audience.

The Evolution of Podcasts

This deal highlights how podcasts are evolving beyond audio. They are becoming multimedia experiences, setting a trend for other podcasts to follow.

The Catch: Ads

While the content will be free, ads will be part of the experience. Will fans tolerate interruptions for free content? Only time will tell. One thing is clear: Crime Junkie is serious about growing its audience.
