Today, Tubi Media Group announced a new partnership with Audiochuck, a media company owned by true crime podcast host Ashley Flowers. With the agreement, Tubi Media Group and Audiochuck will develop a new free Crime Junkie channel to be added to FOX’s streaming platforms, Tubi and FOX One, as well as third party platforms which will likely include top free streaming services like Pluto TV and The Roku Channel. Video podcast episodes will also be available on-demand.
“This first of its kind partnership represents the next evolution of what independent media can achieve,” said Ashley Flowers, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Audiochuck. By joining forces with Tubi, we’re not just expanding our reach — we’re redefining how true crime stories are experienced across audio and video. It’s an incredible opportunity to innovate while staying true to the purpose and integrity that have guided Audiochuck from day one.”
Along with Crime Junkie, Audiochuck is home to other top-rated true crime podcasts The Deck, So Supernatural, Dark Downeast, Park Predators, and more. In total, the company has produced over 20 shows that are offered on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
“Ashley and her team have built a truly unique and premium media company with a strong commitment to meaningful, award-winning storytelling that carries positive social impact. Having admired her achievements for some time, we’re now thrilled to be in partnership with Audiochuck, bringing to bear our platforms and commercial expertise in the continued evolution and growth of the business,” said Paul Cheesbrough, CEO of Tubi Media Group.
That team includes over 20 full-time writers, fact-checkers, and editors. The team actively reports on and evaluates more than 50 cases at once, and the Audiochuck network has reported on nearly 1,000 cases to date. Audiochuck has also donated more than $8.5 million to local communities and organizations serving those impacted by crime, and 6 cold cases have been solved with the support of the Audiochuck community.
Red Seat Ventures will take on responsibility for ad sales across Audiochuck’s suite of programs and podcasts.
