CNN Christiane AmanpourABC News is close to concluding a deal to install the long time CNN foreign correspondent Christiane Amanpour as the new host of its Sunday political discussion show “This Week.”
The network’s interest in Ms. Amanpour –and her favorable response to the approach–has been widely rumored for weeks. Now the negotiations are close enough to completion that an announcement may be made as early as tomorrow, though an ABC News executive cautioned that nothing is final and a number of points in the deal have yet to be resolved.
Ms. Amanpour has been discussing the possible move with news colleagues — including some prospective ones from ABC — over the past month.

====================================
I really like Christiana Amanpour's news overage.. and so will be back to watching This Week!
Who sits at these anchor desks makes a real difference to what gets covered. I hope there is more global issues being covered in This Week going forward.
