Amanpour Says Her Version Of This Week Will Bring ‘Different Voices And Perspectives’
Christiane Amanpour takes over ABC’s This Week Sunday, and today she was on ABCNews.com’s “Top Line” to talk about what viewers can expect and to preview the first show.
The “double exclusive” will include Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“I’ve landed in a place where there’s a massive story and it has been so for a few years, and I think it’s really peaking right now,” said Amanpour to hosts Rick Klein and Jon Karl. “It’s going to be competitive, because it is a Washington-based show.”
She also explained how her foreign coverage will inform her D.C.-centric program:
I am fascinated by the policy, by the principles of the US government, by the way the government works. Can it actually meet the needs of the people? I’m always fascinated by ‘what does this mean for the people?’ I’ve been searching that out in my travels abroad and I want to search it out here.
Besides Gates and Pelosi, Amanpour said to expect the roundtable that viewers “know and love” to remain on the show, however with some new guests. “We’ll also want to eventually start adding and increasing the different voices and different perspectives,” she said.
We’ll have more on Amanpour’s first week of guests as we get it…
Here’s Amanpour on ABCNews.com’s “Top Line” appearance:
