Queen of Media, Oprah Winfrey is all set to take yet another step in her plans of TV world domination. She will be launching her own U.S. channel next year.
The appropriately self-titled network, Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), once launched will be viewed in more than 70 million homes.
Oprah says about the launch:
"Fifteen years ago, I wrote in my journal that one day I would create a television network, as I always felt my show was just the beginning of what the future could hold," said Oprah Winfrey, who will serve as chairman of OWN. "For me, the launch of The Oprah Winfrey Network is the evolution of the work I've been doing on television all these years and a natural extension of my show."So what kind of programming can one expect on OWN?
Lifestyle of course! Duh!
You will also be able to get some programming on current affairs. In other words..they have no clue just yet. By they, I am reffering to Oprah and Discovery Communications who in the deal has agreed to relaunch their Discovery Health Channel as OWN.
So what do you all think? Honestly, when I heard about this I was hardly surprised. Can anyone really say they did not see this coming?
Go on Oprah with your bad self!
