You're reading it here first. I just spoke to Christiane Amanpour in New York.The world's foremost TV journalist of our age, is taking television news to a whole new level with her own brand-new show, simply entitled Amanpour. When I first got word of this a few months ago, I just knew it would be GREAT!
Amanpour starts on CNN International (DStv 401) on Monday, 21 September at 21:00. It will air every weekday, Monday to Friday and will surely be appointment television.
No other journalist in the world brings MORE STREET CRED, MORE TRUST, MORE DOGGED DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE and AUTHENTICITY to global television news than Christiane Amanpour.
The daily half hour Amanpour will be a global show, done from New York, beamed around the world by satellite with THE newsmakers, THE world leaders, THE decision makers on a global level all taking to her.
News junkies, get ready for ''a new global conversation'' that I can't wait to start watching:
Each Amanpour show will focus on a single topic, often news driven, often provocative, bringing to bear Christiane's vast journalistic experience and depth honed from more than 25 years of reporting from around the world - often from the dangerous hotspots, often the most hard to reach places, often getting there first and getting all the fact (and correctly so!) before any of the rest.
Check back here all of next week as I will reveal teasers and outtakes of what she told me, every day for the whole of next week leading up to Monday, 21 September at 21:00 when her first show starts!
