Christiane Amanpour's new show takes Charlie Rose's PBS timeslot


Charlie Rose is gone, and Christiane Amanpour is here to stay.
The longtime CNN correspondent will lead a new PBS talk show alongside a cast of regular contributors, CNN announced Tuesday. Amanpour & Company will take Rose's former 11 p.m. timeslot starting in July.
Rebroadcasts of CNN's Amanpour have replaced Rose's PBS show since he was fired last November in the wake of sexual harassment allegations. This permanent replacement has been in the works for five months, per CNN. And Amanpour didn't ignore how she got the job.
