NEW YORK — Veteran Washington hand Ian Cameron was appointed Monday as the producer in charge of ABC's Sunday political talk show "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
Cameron has been the Washington senior producer for ABC's "World News" for the last seven years. He started at ABC News in 1998 as a producer for the evening newscast, leading a team of investigative reporters.
He replaces Kathy O'Hearn, who's now producing special events in political coverage.
"This Week" has had a strong run in the ratings heading into an uncertain period for the Sunday morning talk shows. NBC is expected to name a permanent successor for the late Tim Russert after the election.
