NEW YORK (AP) – The television network ABC says Chris Brown will appear on its '20/20' newsmagazine on December 11.

In what's billed as an in-depth interview, the singer will discuss his assault of ex-girlfriend and recording superstar Rihanna in February. He is on probation for the beating.

The interview was taped last weekend.

ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider says clips may also air on the network's morning show. He says Brown will not perform live. Brown is scheduled to release his album 'Graffiti' on December 8. He has previously spoken about the attack on MTV News and CNN.

Rihanna was interviewed this month by ABC.
