History
CBS Reality was launched as Reality TV on 1 December 1999 as a joint-venture between UPCtv and Zone Vision.[7] The channel started broadcasting to Africa on 1 November 2001.[8] In 2005, Liberty Global, owner of UPC, bought Zone Vision. In 2006, they decided to put all their channels under the unified "Zone" brand. Reality TV became Zone Reality.[9]
On 1 August 2012, Chellomedia revealed that the European version of Zone Reality would be rebranded into CBS Reality.[10] In Europe, Zone Reality was rebranded on 3 December 2012.[11] AMC Networks acquired Chellomedia on 2 February 2014. Chellomedia was rebranded as AMC Networks International on 8 July 2014.[12]
CBS Reality is available in HD in Poland since 23 September 2019.[13]
A dedicated Romanian feed was launched on 13 May 2022, with a different schedule and Romanian adverts. However, promos and trailers are subtitled in Romanian.
CBS Reality closed on June 1, 2022 in Russia.[14][15]
CBS Reality closed in the UK on 22 November 2023 and was rebranded as True Crime.[16]
CBS Reality closed on December 31, 2023 in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and in the Netherlands.
