Oxygen True Crime expanded its reach from traditional pay-TV to free, over-the-air (OTA) digital broadcast subchannels, allowing viewers with a standard TV antenna to watch hit shows like Snapped, The Killer Among Us, Dateline and many more without a cable subscription.
The Move to Over-the-Air TV
- Free Access: NBCUniversal began simulcasting the popular cable network as a digital multicast broadcast subchannel on local NBC-owned and affiliate stations.
- Market Rollout: The OTA feed launched in major U.S. media markets, including Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Washington, D.C.
- True Crime Focus: The channel features the network’s signature lineup of real-life mystery and investigative programming.
How to Tune In via Antenna
- Check Availability: Use online broadcast mapping tools or the Oxygen Channel Finder to see if the subchannel transmits in your local area.
- Run a Rescan: If you use an antenna and the channel does not appear in your guide, use your TV remote to open the settings menu and run an auto-tune or channel rescan.
