Oprah to Return to Prime-Time

Queen of daytime, Oprah Winfrey has nowhere to go but night, and will be doing so next year with Oprah's Next Chapter, a prime-time hourlong talk show of sorts that will air on Winfrey's own, um, OWN.

The show will air just two or three times a week and debut in late 2011. She will wrap up 25 seasons of The Oprah Winfrey Show in September of next year.

Oprah's Next Chapter will take on something of a familiar format, featuring Winfrey talking to the movers and shakers she deems most interesting and newsworthy, but—and here's the twist—instead of confabbing in front of a studio audience, the conversations won't be boxed in, with Oprah traveling the world to places like Egypt and China for the sit-downs.
