Oprah comes to the radio
From the Associated Press
Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey launched her own channel, Oprah and Friends, on Monday morning on XM Satellite Radio, with shows hosted by her and a collection of popular personalities from her television show, including her best friend, Gayle King, fitness expert Bob Greene and poet Maya Angelou.
The station will broadcast 24 hours day, with highlights of the shows replayed every weekend. Programming includes “The Oprah and Gayle Show,” on which Winfrey and King discuss the latest news and gossip, and shows about finance, style, relationships and spiritual wisdom.
In February, Winfrey signed a three-year, $55-million deal with XM to launch the channel.
