Amanpour is best known for her reporting from war zones at CNN.
She has lately been host of a daily show on CNN's International network; highlights are run Sunday on the domestic channel.
Stephanopoulos left the show in December to take over as co-host of "Good Morning America."
Amanpour will start in August.
Jake Tapper will fill in until then.
