Former HLN host Joy Behar is bringing her talk show to Current TV starting this September, the network announced Monday.

The hour-long Joy Behar Show (working title) will air at 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, repeating later in the evening in primetime. The show will cover the latest political, social and pop culture events with a regular rotating ensemble of commenters, according to the announcement.

The ensemble cast, title and premiere date will be announced later this summer. Behar will guest anchor the 8 p.m. hour the week of June 18 while Viewpoint host Eliot Spitzer is on vacation.

HLN ended Behar's show last December after two years at the network. Behar continues to host The View on ABC.
