Former Nightline anchor Ted Koppel was on the Sunday talk shows chatting up his new special on China, which he probably would not have had the opportunity to explore in-depth at the networks. And then there was the story that he's hosting an NPR show. And now another announcement. From the press release:
"Ted Koppel, one of the most respected and highly honored journalists in the U.S., will join the nightly newscast which airs on BBC AMERICA and BBC World News in an ongoing role as a contributing analyst.
"The veteran newsman will offer his expertise on major international and national news stories, including the 2008 presidential election race. It is expected that he will be part of the BBC World News America team broadcasting live from the party conventions in Denver and Minneapolis.
"Executive Producer Rome Hartman comments: 'Ted Koppel is the quintessential American journalist with a global perspective. His smart, sophisticated view of the world, and America's place in it, makes him a perfect fit for BBC World News America. His knowledge and insight on everything, from China's economic development to the battle for the White House, is second to none and his analysis of stories and issues is razor-sharp.'"
