Is it just me, or is the prospect of having Oprah "24 hours a day on a platform that goes on forever" a little bit frightening?
Oprah Winfrey is getting her own TV network. OWN — for Oprah Winfrey Network — will debut next year in nearly 70 million homes with cable and satellite, part of a deal announced Tuesday with Discovery Communications. It will replace the Discovery Health network.The announcement builds a media empire that already includes the top-rated TV talk show, a magazine, a satellite radio network, a Web site and TV movies made under her banner.
"This is an evolution of what I've been able to do every day," Winfrey said. "I will now have the opportunity to do this 24 hours a day on a platform that goes on forever."

Hehe True.
Its kind of like a nightmare on elm street or a twilight zone episode when i read: "I will now have the opportunity to do this 24 hours a day on a platform that goes on forever."
Who's next Dr. Phil perhaps?
