Christiane Amanpour leaving "This Week." Returning to CNN.

Christiane Amanpour is leaving “This Week” and returning to her roots at CNN and in foreign reporting in a new arrangement that allows her to appear on both ABC News and CNN International, the two networks announced Monday.

George Stephanopoulos will replace her on “This Week,” while continuing his duties on “Good Morning America.” Jake Tapper will also have a “large role” in the Sunday show, as will other correspondents, according to ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider.

Amanpour will have a weekday show on CNN International. She will also continue at ABC News as a global affairs anchor across the networks’ platforms and as the host of multiple primetime specials.

Probably less time than she's going to spend in the shower over the next few months trying to get the stink off.

I would think going back to CNN would be a demotion for her, but I don't know NBC much - are they worse than Blitzer and those asscarrots at CNN?
