Where to get extra info on Cold Case Files?

[wiseguy182]

Cold Case Files has been airing regularly on the Bio Network and I've been recording it religiously. One or 2 times per episode, you will get these little pop-ups that say to check out aetv.com for more info on certain things, like full interviews, confession letters, etc. I think this is a really cool and useful feature, however I can't seem to find it on aetv.com. I figured it might be because A & E itself hasn't aired CCF in years, but I thought i might be looking in the wrong place. I checked the Bio site too, but couldn't find it on there either, although that site is a bit hard to navigate. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks.

I clearly recall accessing many of those extras when they were available on aetv.com some years ago. It seems the site has changed so much they're either simply not there anymore or extremely well hidden. In any event, I'll keep looking. Will let you know.

EDIT: Well, that was quicker than I thought it would be! There's a drop-down box you can use to locate the episodes you're looking for; I just arbitrarily linked to 'Killer in the County':

Thank you Meg.

I'm also wondering if there is a way to contact the network. As much as I appreciate them showing true crime shows such as Notorious, Cold Case Files and City Confidential, I do wish they would do a better job of rotating the episodes.

There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of episodes of Notorious/American Justice, but they tend to have the same batch that just gets repeated to seemingly infinity, while other episodes they never air. Same with City Confidential. The episode "Gibsonton: The Last Side Show" was playing seemingly every other day for awhile. A good episode indeed, but it's not necessary to show it as often as they were.

Probably their worst offender in this category is The Unexplained. Not exclusively a true crime show, although they do occasionally have some stories that fit that mold. Has more to do with the supernatural, etc and their segments kind of remind me of UM in that regard. Anyways, I found an episode guide that lists 83 episodes for this series, yet Bio will show like the same 15-20 episodes ad nauseam. Perhaps one reason they do this is because they only show the series once or twice a week.

Good question. There for a while they showed the Notorious/American Justice episode "The Brit and the Body Builder" (Farah and Bob Fratta) at least once a week.

I don't know if you get C&I, but they seem to dip from the same rotation of Notorious/AJ and CCF episodes (which makes sense I guess; they're both A&E networks) as well. C&I also shows Justice Files, and same thing as with The Unexplained: it's like the same ten episodes when there's about 130 to choose from easily.
