Television host Oprah Winfrey delivers remarks on behalf of Sen. Barack Obama.
The Queen of Television's empire is expanding.
This from the AP: "Oprah Winfrey is getting her own TV network. Discovery Communications and Winfrey announced a deal Tuesday where the Discovery Health network will be turned over to Winfrey next year, becoming OWN — the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Some of Winfrey's stable of regular contributors could be expected to be part of the programming, he said. Winfrey's current talk show, as well as rights to use of reruns, is spoken for until the end of the season."
Read the rest, and tell us what you think. Oprah is under contract to continue her talk show through 2011 — which would be her 25th year on the air. This network — through reruns and Harpo-produced content — could indefinitely extend Oprah's presence on TV.
