Oprah to concentrate on OWN


Having brought her talk show to a close after 25 years, Oprah Winfrey said Thursday says she's ready to devote her full attention to nurturing the six-month-old cable TV network that bears her name.

The Oprah Winfrey Network launched on Jan. 1, taking over what had been Discovery Health. As OWN was under development, Winfrey said she was also trying to finish the last 130 episodes of her syndicated TV talk show, the last episode of which aired on May 25.

With "The Oprah Winfrey Show" out of the way, Winfrey said she can be "all in" at OWN.

Winfrey said there are two people she was never able to get on her talk show she'd still like to interview - O.J. Simpson and Susan Smith, the South Carolina woman convicted of drowning her two young sons.
