Today if you turn on your DIRECTV NOW app today you may find a new channel listed. This morning for several of our readers the Reelz channel appeared on DIRECTV NOW.

Reelz channel launched back in 2006 as ReelzChannel. Currently, Reelz airs a wide range of new and syndicated content like Murder Made Me Famous, National Enquirer Investigates, The Shocking Truth and more.

Reelz describes themselves as:

REELZ is a leading independent cable and satellite general entertainment network that is home to factual entertainment, television events, miniseries, movies and series featuring big stories and big stars. Programming ranges from the critically acclaimed and award-winning The Kennedys to Autopsy: The Last Hours Of…, Celebrity Legacies, Celebrity Page, Hollywood Scandals, Murder Made Me Famous, the miniseries The Kennedys-After Camelot and much more that connects directly to the world of entertainment. REELZ also showcases top movie and entertainment expert Leonard Maltin who provides specific on-air recommendations for movies viewers can watch at home.

At this time we do not know what package Reelz will be found in but can confirm that it is in our Go Big package. We could not find a listing for it on the DIRECTV NOW website at the time of this posting.
