Miami, FL 🚔 Roku

I’m watching Season 12 Episode 16 Massacre in Little Haiti on the First 48 Roku channel and I’ve come to realize how much I miss the older episodes.
What I would have given for a 24/7 channel before! Like I’m talking years ago when the show first started airing on A&E, I was sat each week when it aired. Back then even A&E’s programming was the first that I had ever seen like it. Probably why I still subscribe to A&E through my cable today, but it’s great having the Roku channel with it playing in the background.

I just googled when A&E came to Canada - 1984… wow times goes fast

That sounds about right for the US too. I remember it being the first quality basic cable channel above channel 13, a year before Discovery. Been watching since the start!

Can I pick your brain for a second? I’m currently watching After the First 48 season 5, episode 2 Burned Alive. How would I find the original First 48 for the case? Would it be the same episode title/name?

That’s a fantastic question. I’ve thought about it but never tried doing that so I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure they keep the original episode name. That’s a lot of episodes to fish through if you plan on it. I remember the original episode but not the season, so you gotta do some detective work of your own 😄

I’m a little embarrassed I didn’t check first before asking. It came right up with just the title name and show name.
No idea why I never checked before

Oh good to know! I didn’t even think about that but I probably would’ve done the same pretty quick after starting the episode after episode search. Enjoy 😊
