英语文摘:Oprah Winfrey to host new global evening show

BEIJING, April 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Oprah Winfrey is going to take her career to a new step by hosting a new series on her OWN cable network, according to media reports.

An hour-long evening show titled "Operah's Next Chapter" is an on-location interview series, which means she will travel around the world, according to Oprah Winfrey Network, or OWN, the Los Angeles-based cable TV venture she formed with Discovery Communications Inc.

The series, scheduled for late 2011, will air as often as three times a week.

Winfrey, whose syndicated daytime talk show ends in September, will also appear in other OWN programs.

"My vision for OWN is to create a network that inspires our viewers and makes them want to be who they are on their best day," Winfrey said.

The U.S. talk show host announced in November on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that she would end her popular daytime show because it "feels right." The top-rated daytime show is broadcast from Chicago on ABC stations across the United States and in more than 140 countries.
