The Oprah Winfrey Network will be looking at various matters including money, health and relationships. However, Oprah Winfrey’s chat show contract means that she is not likely to be seen regularly on screen.
Oprah Winfrey said of the new channel: "This is an evolution of what I've been able to do every day. I will now have the opportunity to do this 24 hours a day on a platform that goes on forever."
The Oprah Winfrey Network is being set up via a deal with media giant Discovery Communications, with the intention of seeing its Discovery Health channel make a comeback under the new name of OWN.
Ownership of the Oprah Winfrey Network is to be divided equally between Discovery and Oprah Winfrey's company, Harpo Productions, and she is also giving Discovery half ownership of her Oprah.com website.
