Acclaimed international reporter and news commentator Aaron Brown will return to the anchor chair this summer as the new host of WIDE ANGLE, the weekly primetime international affairs series on PBS. With his engaging, award-winning brand of insight and analysis, Brown will bring substantive understanding of worldwide issues to American audiences.
Among the topics to be explored: the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Darfur; the young Chinese generation poised to take the reins of an emerging superpower; pioneering surgical midwives in Mozambique, the re-emergence of Japanese military; and, one of the most significant refugee crises in history, the displacement of more than two million Iraqi civilians.
“Aaron brings a quarter century of distinguished journalism experience to our viewers,” said Pamela Hogan, executive producer of WIDE ANGLE. “His incisive ability to interpret world affairs is a perfect complement to our mission to draw on front-page news and under-reported stories from around the world to help Americans better understand how these issues impact our lives.”

I am so glad to learn that Aaron Brown will be back on TV with his usual calm and incitevile commentary.
Good luck to him and to public TV.
I am also glad to see Aaron Brown return to TV. He has
always been my favorite newscaster and he has been
missed. Welcome back, Aaron!
What terrific news. Aaron Brown welcome back and I look forwar to your thoughtful discussions. In a world that seems to prefer talking heads screaming at each other, you’re a brilliant alternative.
Thank you PBS
I don’t watch PBS as a general rule, but I can assure you I’ll be watching for anything that Aaron Brown does. Aaron, if you read this, I have missed you and your ability to calm me when I’m upset over almost any subject – except maybe postivie press for the President. I have especially missed you every year on September 11. It is so nice to see you again. It’s like seeing an old friend after a long separation. Welcome back into my life. Remember how I used to sign my emails to you?
Your friend,
Toni
I thoroughly concur with the previous comments. I have missed Aaron Brown and it is wonderful to have such a sane, literate and erudite reporter back. Thank you PBS. My support is justified.
I have been wondering what happened to Aaron Brown. Finally, I got the bright idea of searching the WEB. Finally, I see he’s on PBS. We really liked him on CNN. That’s the reason we started watching CNN. Well, anyway, CNN still has Lou Dobbs. Thank goodness.
Like the others who have commented favorably on Aaron Brown’s return to TV on Wide Angle, I am happy to see and hear him again. I spend fewer hours with CNN since he left that station.
