Oprah Winfrey to host new talk show?

Oprah Winfrey plans to host a new series on her OWN cable network, it has been claimed.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the hour-long evening show will be titled Oprah's Next Chapter and will air two or three times a week.

It has been suggested that the new programme will feature Winfrey conducting interviews with notable figures outside of her usual studio setting.

Winfrey also plans to appear on other OWN programmes.

"My name's going to show up on that grid a lot," she said.

Chapter, from Harpo and Discovery Communications, is reportedly scheduled to debut later this year. Winfrey is expected to leave her current syndicated talk show in September.
