Ms. Winfrey and Discovery Communications announced yesterday plans to launch a new channel -- which will go by the acronym, OWN -- in the second half of 2009. Ms. Winfrey will be the creative force behind the channel, developing programming on topics familiar to her viewers, such as dealing with bullying and recovering from divorce. But, at least at first, the channel will be entering a cluttered landscape without Ms. Winfrey's biggest asset, her top-rated talk show.
"The Oprah Winfrey Show," has been sold to TV stations around the country through the 2010-11 television season. While Discovery is hoping she moves the show to the network after that, she's under no obligation to do so. Ms. Winfrey said yesterday it's "possible" she'll move the show, or perhaps reruns, to OWN and will decide this fall.
