Bob Woodruff of ABC News is set to anchor a weekly environmentally oriented show series for Planet Green, a new network from by Discovery Communications. Billed as an "eco-newscast," the program will offer "in-depth news for half an hour every week," Woodruff says, including "arguments and controversies, scientific analysis and breaking international news." It will be produced by ABC News.

"I've traveled around the world covering a wide range of stories," he says. "But the environment is one story that knows no boundaries or limitations in terms of its impact on humanity." After just a month as chief anchor at ABC, Woodruff was seriously injured during a roadside blast in Iraq, but eventually returned to his job at the network.

Planet Green is set to sign on June 4.
