Amanpour (styled "Amanpour.") is a global affairs interview television program hosted by Christiane Amanpour, airing weeknights 2000 pm and 2030 pm CET (Tuesday and Saturday 0400 am and 0430 am HKT) and replay at 2300 pm and 2330 pm CET (Tuesday and Saturday 2300 pm and 2330 pm HKT) on CNN International (CNNI). The show also airs weekdays at 2am and 2:30am Eastern Time on CNN/US.
Format
The weekday program has three segments. The first one is called The Brief, in which Amanpour tells a story from a different perspective, and often adds her personal experiences. The second one is typically an interview with a high profile news maker or politician, while the final segment is called Imagine a World, which is Amanpour's final thought on a topic that was not discussed on the show.
When Amanpour is reporting in the field, she anchors the entire program remotely.
Interviews
The show has featured a number of high-profile interviews, including Joko Widodo, Robert Mugabe, Jacob Zuma, Queen Rania of Jordan, Son of Hamas author Mosab Hassan Yousef, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a rare joint interview with Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and Sec. of Defense Bob Gates, an unprecedented joint interview with the U.N. Ambassadors to India, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Mohamed ElBaradei, Hans Blix, NATO Secretary General Rasmussen, Gen. McChrystal, the first-ever joint interview with media power couple Tina Brown and Harry Evans, Gen. David Petraeus, and the then Vice President, now former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan.
