Elizabeth Vargas is headed to daytime TV. The former ABC News anchor will host and executive produce a syndicated series, "iCrime with Elizabeth Vargas", that’s set to premiere in September.
The half-hour show has clearance in 95% of the country, with station groups including Nexstar, Gray Media Group, Scripps, Cox Media, Tegna, CBS Television Stations, Fox Television Stations and Weigel Broadcasting carrying the program.
"iCrime" will feature clips of crimes captured on witnesses’ smart phones along with interviews between Vargas and victims, law enforcement, and the videographers. A panel of experts will also offer their opinions on the footage.
“Cell phone videos have completely changed the social landscape,” said Vargas in a statement. “Anyone, anywhere, with a cell phone can record crimes as they happen, and those videos can have a huge impact. iCrime will cull the most powerful of these videos, while providing important insight on the law and how to keep safe. I could not be more excited to host this new show.”
