Christiane Amanpour is set to host a new daily foreign affairs programme simply titled Amanpour, on CNN International in Asia starting April 17. The 30-minute daily broadcast of the programme will air Tuesdays to Saturdays at 5pm HKT and 10pm HKT.

“We are delighted to have Christiane back at CNN,” said Tony Maddox, executive vice president and managing director for CNN International.  “Christiane’s sophisticated, incisive journalism is needed now, more than ever to add context and depth to the world’s biggest news and stories.”

As a companion digital presence to the programme, CNN will also launch Amanpour.com. Users of CNN.com/international and Amanpour.com will be able to view excerpts of the daily broadcasts of Amanpour. Both websites will have editorial contributions from Christiane Amanpour, the show team, and in-depth insights and commentary from a wide array of foreign policy experts. 

Additionally, viewers and users can interact with Amanpour via Twitter and Facebook for show guest updates, breaking international news, and more.
