Oprah Winfrey gets her own network
Queen of chat shows Oprah Winfrey is getting her own TV network. Discovery Communications and Winfrey have announced a deal where the Discovery Health network will be turned over to Winfrey next year, becoming the Oprah Winfrey Network. “This is an evolution of what I’ve been able to do every day. I’ll now be able to do that 24 hours a day. I’m thrilled about this opportunity. I’ve been asking myself for several years, what is the NEXT, capital N-E-X-T, after The Oprah Winfrey Show,”said Oprah in a press conference held on Tuesday. She didn’t say anything about specific programming except that her Oprah Winfrey Show will not appear on the network, at least until she has fulfilled her current contract through 2011. In the fall of this year, she has to decide whether she’ll extend that contract beyond 2011. “But this network isn’t just about me, it’s really about creating possibilities for any number of people — some we know right now and some yet to be discovered.” But know this, she says: “I will be the voice for the network.”

Oprah is truly profound and an inspiration for me! Thanks for the news….
We are sick of Oprah the ape
Isn’t America big enough for her? She’s already got Obama working on winning the Presidency with her backing. Now she has her own TV Station? OMG Lord set us free. Please Lord set us free. Hallelujah please set us free.
Kneeling, sobbing, begging, sighing, thumping my chest with my fist, dear Lord set us free. Throwing myself prostrate on the Baptist Church aisle along which Obama had his chat with the Lord, kicking, crying, beseeching, please NOT Oprah, anything BUT Oprah. I’ll even give a little on Obama but please NOT Oprah. Lordy, lordy, Jesus. You spoke to Obama. Speak to me. Please speak to me. I’m listening. Listening harder. Ear to the floor listening. Nope. The Lord ONLY spoke with Obama in that very aisle. He was relaying a message from Oprah. Heck she’s got God working for her as well. Is there NO God without Oprah’s influence? Please say it aint so. Please!!!
NO! HER VERY, VERY BEST FRIEND GAYLE WILL BE THE VICE PRESIDENT. It’s too much. I can’t stand it another minute. Where’s the Golden Gate Bridge? Throwing myself off now. NO! Don’t stop me. I can’t live another minute. NO! Stand back. What’s that you say? Her dog Sophie is going to be the Vice President for human affairs. Hmmmmmm, I bet that dog could tell some stories about Steadman and the big O, and that aint for Orbison. Oooooooooooo
