Dateline On ID is a true crime TV show that premiered in 2008 on the Investigation Discovery channel. The show is hosted by NBC News anchor Lester Holt, who delivers riveting stories of crime, betrayal, and justice to viewers. Each episode of Dateline On ID is typically based on a real-life crime story or criminal investigation. The subjects of these stories range from high-profile murder cases to lesser-known crimes committed in small towns across America. The show's producers draw from a variety of sources, including police reports, court records, interviews with witnesses and law enforcement officials, and in-depth reporting by the show's own correspondents.

The show's format is a mix of interviews, reenactments, and news footage. Holt serves as an anchor and narrator, introducing each story and providing context for viewers.

The show's correspondents provide additional reporting, often going out into the field to gather information, interview witnesses, or visit crime scenes.

One of the hallmarks of Dateline On ID is its attention to detail. The show's producers frequently bring in experts on a variety of subjects related to crime, including forensic scientists, psychologists, and criminologists. These experts provide insights into the behavior of criminals, the mechanics of crime investigations, and the science of forensic evidence. The show also often features reenactments of key events in the crimes, giving viewers a more visceral sense of what happened.

Despite its focus on unsavory subject matter, Dateline On ID is a compelling and well-produced show. Holt's steady presence and authoritative reporting style lend the show a sense of gravitas, while the use of expert commentary and reenactments adds texture and depth to the stories. The show's producers also do an excellent job of drawing out the human emotions at the heart of each story, whether it's the grief of a family of a murder victim or the determination of a detective to solve a difficult case.

Overall, Dateline On ID is a standout example of true crime TV programming. With its excellent reporting, attention to detail, and powerful storytelling, the show keeps viewers riveted from start to finish.
