One such long running and popular entity has been Crime Patrol. In today’s day and age, when some shows are pulled off air in no-time due to no-show, Crime Patrol, which is telecast on Sony Entertainment Television (SET), has completed a run of 12 long years. The show was launched on 9 May, 2003 in the 10:30 pm slot on Friday. Speaking about the show, Sony chief creative director Ajay Bhalwankar says that being a quality product, Crime Patrol has been a matter of pride from the channel’s programming point. Equating Crime Patrol to the North Star in the constellation, Bhalwankar says, “From a house wife living in Meerut to Shobha De, it reaches across a spectrum of audience. Crime works well on Sony.”
