ITV News is to open a joint operation in Johannesburg with NBC News, with both outlets sharing an Africa correspondent based in Johannesburg.
It is anticipated that Rohit Kachroo, who is currently crime correspondent for ITV News, will take up the new role by the end of this month.
ITV News Middle East correspondent John Ray will also become a joint correspondent for NBC News, working with the US broadcaster's production team in Israel.
The announcement follows the opening of a new bureau in Dubai by ITV News and a reshuffle of its foreign correspondents in September last year.
"We’re expanding our foreign operations at a time when many news organizations are retracting theirs, and we’re proud to do so hand-in-hand with America’s market leader," Jonathan Munro, deputy editor of ITV News said in the release.
"Rohit is an excellent reporter who has proved himself on many home and international stories. His first posting as a foreign correspondent will enable us to comprehensively cover Africa from Johannesburg as well as our hub in Dubai."
