CBC has put Avi Lewis on its schedule again, and given him the host spot for a short-run half-hour set to debut next month on CBC Newsworld. Billed as ‘in-depth analysis of world events,’ On the Map with Avi Lewis will see the frontman of both The Big Picture and counterSpin cover international and otherwise overlooked stories Monday through Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET. The slot is currently manned by CBC News: Today with David Gray.

The June 4 launch will coincide with the G8 Summit in Germany, with Lewis looking at international and the ‘Bono-ization’ of development. The series will run for four weeks.
