CBS Justice:

MARK OF A KILLER
Season 1&2. Channel premiere.
Weeknights at 19:00. From 5th July.
The behaviours and patterns may differ, but some serial killers simply cannot resist leaving a personal mark on each of their heinous crimes. From postmortem rituals to crime scene mementos, these perverse trademarks are often meant to taunt law enforcement but can end up providing vital clues that help the investigators bring down the perpetrator. Each episode delves into a different case involving a serial killer signature, featuring firsthand accounts from the detectives involved as well as interviews with criminal psychology experts and those close to the victims.

BURIED IN THE BACKYARD
Season 2. Channel premiere.
Weeknights at 20:00. From 12th July.
A backyard may seem like an innocent location, but sometimes it can be the hiding place for a deadly crime. The true-crime series "Buried in the Backyard" explores disturbing real-life murder cases in which the culprits tried to bury the remains of their victims in the backyard. Each hour-long episode delves into a new police investigation, painting a vivid picture of the crime and its aftermath through first-hand accounts from law enforcement agents and those closest to the victims. The riveting and suspenseful series unearths the secret motivations and deadly impulses that led to such sinister burials.

The Scrapped Canadian Children's Brand BBC Kids Rolls Out In Australia, Will DStv Or Starsat Perhaps Get It?


BBC Kids is the international counterpart of the UK's CBBC channel owned by BBC Studios that launched in Canada as a partnership with Knowledge Network from 2001 until 2019.

BBC Kids is a sister channel of BBC Brit, BBC Earth, BBC Lifestyle and the preschool counterpart, CBeebies. The difference with this brand is BBC Studios is calling the shots.

The brand was revived 2 years later on Australia's Fetch TV as a placeholder for Cartoon Network and Boomerang in that platform only.

BBC Kids offers programming for 6 to 10-year-olds and broadcasts comedy, documentaries, drama, entertainment and nature shows such as The Sarah Jane Adventures, Jamie Johnson, Deadly 60 On A Mission and Project Parent. Shows which aren't viewable anywhere in Africa.

Telemundo and PBS Kids were in the same boat as this brand with their availability being limited to certain regions now they're both available in Africa through MultiChoice's DStv.

If BBC Kids launched in Africa it would compete with other brands such as PBS Kids and Da Vinci Kids while it's preschool counterpart CBeebies is taking on Nick Jr and Disney Junior.
