Will Amanpour Turn Politico?

Could CNN mainstay Christiane Amanpour become the new host of ABC’s This Week? Though she’s made her name as a foreign correspondent and not as a politico, sources say that Amanpour is a top candidate to replace George Stephanopoulos, who recently moved to NBC’s Good Morning America. In the interim Stephanopoulos’ seat has been kept warm by a variety of guest hosts including Barbara Walters, and this coming week Matthew Dowd will host. Amanpour has not commented on the deal and reports also put PBS’s Gwen Ifill in the running for the job, which ABC News’ president said would be filled within the next few weeks.
