Elizabeth Vargas will Join A+E Networks for A&E Investigates. This comes after Elizabeth Vargas leaves ABC's 20/20.

Elizabeth Vargas has planted her flag at A+E Networks, setting a production pact with the cable group that calls for her to front the new “A&E Investigates” banner.

Vargas will relocate to A+E Networks after she wraps her 14-year run as co-anchor of ABC News’ “20/20” newsmagazine next month. The “A&E Investigates” initiative is designed to bring investigative docu-series and specials to the company’s flagship cabler.

The first projects in the pipeline include a look at “Cults and Extreme Belief” and a series examining North Carolina’s controversial Word of Faith Fellowship Circle. A two-hour special tentatively titled “Child Brides,” about the surprisingly high number of girls under 18 who are forced into marriage in U.S., is also in the works. On May 28, Vargas will front a two-hour special, “Casey Anthony’s Parents Speak,” featuring an extended interview with the parents of the Florida woman who was acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter in 2011.

Here is an Update

She will join David Muir on the primetime newsmagazine following Elizabeth Vargas' departure from the network.
Amy Robach has been named co-anchor of primetime newsmagazine 20/20 alongside David Muir. The announcement came Monday from ABC News president James Goldston. But the move has been expected for some time, since shortly after Elizabeth Vargas’ departure from ABC was announced last December.

Robach will continue to report for Good Morning America as well as other ABC News programs and platforms. The announcement comes in the wake of the revelation of a reduced role on the morning show for Lara Spencer (who will now be on the show three days each week). Both women’s shifting roles come as producers have focused the show around its three top anchors: George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan.

GMA is in a pitched battle with NBC’s Today for a bigger total audience in the morning, though Today has long held the lead as the most-watched morning show among viewers 25-54 that are most sought by advertisers.

In a memo to ABC News staffers, Goldston characterized Robach as a “brilliant journalist and skilled interviewer.”
