==Background==
===Crime Watch Daily===
Crime Watch Daily was a Daytime Emmy award winning news program that featured real investigative reports, footage, and stories about crime from all across America. Anchoring in the streets of New York, the show worked to deliver real crime sagas that showcased the best of crime journalism. From murder mysteries to unsolved cases, the show featured a wide variety of different cases. It served as what can be referred to as a "National Newsroom," gathering leads from more than one hundred and ninety eight markets from across the country. The show lasted for three seasons, having Matt Doran host the first season and Chris Hanson host seasons two and three. Through those three seasons, the show was able to produce more than one thousand five hundred true crime stories. The show was first aired in 2015, and was canceled in 2018.

It was on this program that they also started their very own podcast, which they have spanned through a variety of apps.
==Franchise Features (Crime Watch Daily)==
Franchise Features are what fill the final three segments of the episode, which have to do with other cases and arrests

==Hansen vs Predator==
Hansen vs Predator is one of the show's most well known series. It is a segment that starts Chris Hansen, whom leads an investigation on Computer Predators. These segments finding a child-Predator online and, using a decoy, entice him into coming to the house where he will be interviewed. Shortly after they arrive at the home, Chris will reveal himself and interview the accused Predator, reading their chat/logs and questioning their motives. Chris then reveals who he really is, the cameras come out, and the predator tries to leave. Outside, police are waiting to arrest them, and the story continues all the way to the police station until the police are done interviewing said Predator.
===Controversy===
Unfortunately, this segment has brought about much controversy over it's merits. For starters and probably the most popular complaint that this show has received, it is theorized that the only reason for the show's existence is for ratings. Rather than focusing on catching criminals, people accuse the station of using their platform to make a show out of it, rather than make a change.
