Chris Hansen's "To Catch a Predator"

I wondered... if it's a sting operation, how come they are not required to read the perp his rights before they interview him?

Because the perp has not been arrested yet. An interview is not an arrest.

The network isn’t a law enforcement entity, and the perp isn’t under arrest when Hansen pops in. The arrest only happens after he leaves the house...

Because they're not arrested by NBC. They get arrested when they leave the house.
