NEW YORK (AP) - ABC News will present a prime-time interview with President Barack Obama on health care issues next week.

The network’s special will air June 24 at 10 p.m. Eastern, on two-hour tape delay. Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer will moderate the White House discussion with a live audience, also taking questions submitted by viewers.

That morning, Sawyer will interview Obama for “Good Morning America.“ Gibson will anchor that evening’s edition of “World News” from the White House Blue Room.

Obama has been carefully doling out access to the broadcast networks. NBC had big ratings a few weeks ago with its two-night inside peek at the White House. The president has also given newsmaking interviews to CBS’ “Face the Nation” and “60 Minutes.“
