Any trace of Charlie Rose on PBS appears to be gone. The public broadcaster and the BBC announced Tuesday that Beyond 100 Days, the BBC World News nightly public affairs show, will fill the second hour of Rose’s old timeslot, airing at 11:30 p.m.-midnight ET on PBS stations. (TVNewser)

The program features BBC Washington correspondent Katty Kay and the London-based Christian Fraser as co-anchor. It began as a temporary show to report on the Trump administration, but has continued indefinitely—hence the unusual title. PBS said Tuesday it will begin airing on Jan. 2. (THR)

The show replaced the second half-hour that was formerly filled by Rose, who had his syndicated program dropped following allegations of sexual misconduct. (The Washington Examiner)

The public broadcaster moved quickly to offer veteran foreign-affairs correspondent Christiane Amanpour’s nightly program to stations on an interim basis at 11-11:30 p.m. Stations had been left to fill the following half hour with local programming while PBS finalized plans for Beyond 100 Days.
