WION launches ‘Prime Crime’ – A compelling new crime show that unravels the world’s most intriguing criminal cases

In a bold move that redefines investigative journalism, WION, India’s first and only global news channel, has launched ‘Prime Crime’—a powerful weekly investigative show uncovering the world’s most gripping, complex, and often unsolved criminal cases of different countries. The show premieres every Wednesday at 3:30 PM IST and 10:00 AM GMT, and brings to viewers a deeply reported, country-spanning series of investigations that cut through the noise and get to the heart of real crime.

At its core, Prime Crime is about informing, enlightening, and empowering. WION, through this show, takes on the responsibility of making the global audience more aware of the world they live in. Its informative lens is designed to keep audiences—especially young, globally connected viewers—alert and better prepared to navigate a world filled with both digital and physical threats. By connecting global dots and presenting reality without distortion, Prime Crime becomes a powerful tool for awareness, critical thinking, and personal security.

With Prime Crime, WION takes a bold step into the global crime landscape, bringing viewers hard-hitting investigations from across continents. From political assassinations that triggered international outrage to serial killings that left nations stunned, from billion-dollar cyber scams to high-stakes trials that captured global headlines—Prime Crime will emphasise on stories that matter. Each episode travels to a new country, explores a different crime, and uncovers deeper truths behind headlines. It’s an ambitious attempt to connect global dots, reveal patterns, and offer viewers a front-row seat to the undercurrents of crime shaping our world today.

Mr. Rabin Sharma, Managing Editor of WION, shared his vision behind the show, highlighting“Crime today is not limited by geography—it moves across borders, adapts with technology, and affects societies in complex ways. We strongly believe that it’s important not just to report these stories but to help people across the globe understand the bigger picture. Prime Crime is our effort to raise awareness, highlight patterns, and encourage a deeper understanding of how crime operates globally. We are strongly focusing on credible information and practical insight—things that can genuinely help viewers stay informed and, in many cases, more secure.”

The newly launched show is part of WION’s long-term strategy to deepen its global content offerings and to spotlight stories that transcend borders. Prime Crime hopes to generate meaningful conversations, raise awareness about the complexities of justice worldwide, and contribute to a more informed citizenry.
