Amanpour hour to launch on CNNI in 2009
on 24 Nov 2008
Foreign correspondent
Christiane Amanpour is set to head up a new nightly programme,
The Amanpour Hour, on the CNNI channel in the United States beginning in the summer of 2009,
"Our thinking was we wanted a big, the biggest, name to hub our international prime time, and when it comes to global international superstars that list pretty much begins and ends with Christiane Amanpour." An edited version of the Amanpour hour is expected to air on weekends on CNN/U.S. Amanpour tells Jensen she will be taking the show on the road. "[Y]ou can't just sit back and opine about the news; you have to actually go out there and cover it and report it." link
