Ian Cameron

ABC News announced today that Ian Cameron, formerly a producer for World News with Charles Gibson, will be the new executive producer of This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

Mr. Cameron replaces Kathy O'Hearn. In July, ABC announced that Ms. O'Hearn would be leaving the show to become a producer on the network's special events political team.

The move comes at a critical time for This Week. With the future of NBC's Meet the Press, still somewhat up in the air, This Week now has an opportunity to try and recapture its long lost status as the top-rated Sunday morning public affairs show.
