Comcast to Expand Franchise for ‘Dateline NBC’

Associated Press: After the format worked for HBO and Netflix, “Dateline NBC” is trying its own version of a multi-part true crime drama this month. The newsmagazine premieres “The Widower,” about a Las Vegas man who had four of his six wives die under mysterious circumstances, on Feb. 18. The story unfurls over three nights and five hours. It’s one of three steps the network is taking to try and expand the appeal of the newsmagazine’s crime franchise.
