Television viewers can wake up to Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning and go to sleep with PBS’ Charlie Rose. Now, they can spend their weekends with one of the hardest working personalities in television.
PBS is launching Charlie Rose Weekend in July, notes The Hollywood Reporter. The Friday night broadcast will start at 8:30 p.m. and will feature a mix of new material and clips from previous episodes during the week. Each episode will be produced at New York’s WNET station.
According to The New York Times, Charlie Rose Weekend will replace Need To Know, a show that only ran for three years. It will air between Washington Week and PBS Arts Fall Festival.
PBS did say that the show will be different from the 71-year-old’s late night program, adding a technology and social media element.
“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,” Rose said in a statement.
Rose has been with CBS This Morning since early 2012 and is also a contributor to CBS’ 60 Minutes.
