All news channels have their pet interests. Times Now and Republic spent months on Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty. TV9 Bharatvarsh offered wall to wall coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war. And News Nation has quietly devoted itself to aliens.

They’re a regular feature on the channel’s show Rashtramev Jayate. This week, with India’s incredible win against Pakistan at a cricket match in Melbourne, they were offered up as part of News Nation’s coverage in the morning bulletin.
