Hosted by Award-Winning Investigative Journalist Anne Emerson, Criminally Obsessed Delivers In-Depth Coverage of the Country’s Biggest True Crime Cases

HUNT VALLEY, Md. — February 17, 2026 — Sinclair today announced the launch of a new daily video podcast from Criminally Obsessed, its fast-growing true crime vertical, expanding the brand’s footprint across streaming and social platforms.

With new episodes dropping daily Monday through Thursday on YouTube and all audio platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts, Criminally Obsessed’s daily podcast will go deeper inside the investigations, the courtroom drama, and the human stories at the center of the country’s biggest true crime cases. Each episode will track breaking developments, uncover overlooked details, and bring clarity to the chaos, with compassion for victims and the people whose lives are forever changed.

The podcast is hosted by Anne Emerson, an Edward R. Murrow and Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist with more than 30 years of experience. Anne became a leading voice in high-profile investigations through gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Alex Murdaugh double-murder trial and her hit podcast and docuseries The Murdaughs: Murders, Money & Mystery. Her trusted sources and depth of expertise bring authoritative insight to the cases dominating the national conversation.

“We have the experience on our team and we know what it feels like to be out on a crime scene or in a courtroom,” said Emerson. “I can tell you what it feels like as these stories are happening and unfolding because I’ve been there and done it.”

“True crime audiences want more than headlines, they want depth, context, and real accountability,” said Nickolas James, Vice President of Social Media. “With Criminally Obsessed, we’re delivering a daily destination rooted in original reporting by Sinclair’s national newsgathering resources and Anne’s experience and trusted voice.”

Criminally Obsessed, which unites millions of armchair detectives with breaking stories, original investigations, and true crime content, is powered by Sinclair’s network of local reporters and investigative journalists.
