Europe's most watched international news channel, Euronews (DStv 404) just announced an agreement signed with ABC News in America which will bring news stars like Christiane Amanpour as well as American news coverage and interviews to Euronews.
Under the agreement, ABC News correspondents, experts and anchors, including Christiane Amanpour, will provide regular analysis of American politics and others news events on Euronews. Euronews will in turn provide European news coverage to ABC News in America.
''The Euronews–ABC cooperation is the perfect media fit for the current news agenda on both sides of the Atlantic,'' says Lucian Sârb, Euronews director of news and programmes in a statement. ''It is a collaboration that will maximize breaking news, high value reports and exclusive content on air and on line.''
''Wide-ranging views from Europe and the United States bring a global and deeper understanding of what is at stake in 2012 on economic, social and political issues. With this partnership we open a new window on the most significant affairs in 2012 from US, French and Russian elections to more global challenges. All this to the benefit of our viewers around the world.''
