remotely

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'even the least bit interested in being tv' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'controller of programmes?' is the wordplay.
'controller' becomes 'remote' (I have seen 'Controller of programmes' mean 'remote' so perhaps 'controller' could also mean 'remote').
'of programmes?' becomes 'ly' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'remote'+'ly'='REMOTELY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for remotely that I've seen before include "by any chance?" , "Possibly using electronic control" , "from afar" , "Not nearly, distantly" , "From a distance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
