Charlie Rose, 71, is adding to his already considerable workload with a second iteration of his long-running eponymous PBS program.
"Charlie Rose Weekend" will begin airing Fridays at 8:30 p.m. in July, the public broadcaster announced Monday. The half-hour version of his PBS interview program produced out of Thirteen/WNET in New York since 1991, will be a combination of new and re-purposed material.
“PBS is my first broadcast home and I’m excited to embark on a new project that, while distinctly different in nature from Charlie Rose, will build on its history and harness the possibilities of the future by a full use of technology and social media,” said Rose in a statement.
“We will offer a fresh look at the people shaping our lives and the questions that demand answers and context. By bringing together top newsmakers each week and engaging the audience in innovative ways, we will invite viewers to start their weekends on Friday with PBS.”
