NEW DELHI, MARCH 27. News channel India TV, whose sting operations on Bollywood personalities set off a controversy, today said such programmes would be its ``mainstay in future.'' Asked whether the channel will be engaged in sting operations in future as well, India TV Editor-in-Chief, Rajat Sharma, said, ``Investigation journalism as well as interactive TV will be our forte.'' He said that the channel's methods ``would be its mainstay in the future. This is not a game for TRPs though we would also like to see our revenues increase as we are a commercial venture.'' The channel had undertaken a series of sting operations, including on sleaze involving priests in the Swaminarayan Temple in Gujarat. India TV has been served with a show-cause notice by the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry for its expose on some politicians as the government feels it had telecast some shots not meant for unrestricted public viewing. Mr. Sharma claimed the channel's viewership got tremendous boost following telecast of a series of sting opeartions, including that on film actor Shakti Kapoor.- PTI
