Oprah Winfrey is truly a 21st century media mogul. Oprah's already on the TV, in the movies, flogging books and magazines and making musicals, and now she's going to start her own radio channel.
Today Oprah Winfrey starts broadcasting her own XM Satellite Radio channel, called Oprah And Friends, where listeners who don't get enough Oprah Winfrey in their day can tune in and listen to the soothing radio sounds of Oprah Winfrey and everyone she's ever met slowly intoning the words "Oprah, Oprah, Oprah. Obey Oprah. Oprah Oprah Oprah" on a loop for 24 hours a day.
Oprah Winfrey is possibly the single most important human being ever to have trod the face of the Earth. As if hosting her own TV show – where she gets to make Tom Cruise jump on a sofa, listen to Jennifer Aniston bleat on about sunsets and deny buying Aniston and Vince Vaughn a wedding – wasn't enough, Oprah Winfrey has been nominated for an Oscar for being in a film, and then turned that film into a largely ridiculed musical, and made gazillions of dollars from selling books and magazines and starving herself for any kind of approval. And now Oprah Winfrey is following in Bob Dylan's footsteps too – she's got her own XM radio channel, as Seattle PI reports:
Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey was launching 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 renowned poet Maya Angelou. The station will broadcast 24 hours day, with highlights of the shows replayed every weekend… Other shows will focus on finance, style, relationships and spiritual wisdom.
Oprah And Friends was set up with a three-year, $55 million deal between Oprah Winfrey and XM Satellite Radio, And guess who the first guest on the Oprah Winfrey Oprah And Friends radio channel? That's right – Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey will be a guest on the first show by Gayle King, the woman who is absolutely not Oprah Winfrey's lesbian lover at all, and possible topics of conversation include; how brilliant Oprah Winfrey is, how much Oprah Winfrey loves her followers, Oprah Winfrey, the Oprah Winfrey book club and how much Oprah Winfrey hates racist French boutiques who don't sell things to her even though they're closed because she's a powerful black woman. But she won't discuss Oprah Winfrey becoming president, and she'll sue you if you do.
If any of you actually do get round to listening to the Oprah Winfrey radio channel, be sure to let us know what it's like in the comments section below. We think we already kind of have an idea.

jerry carpenter says
I dont care for her at all, I do my best not to watch her. She made some nasty comments about our town, LAMAR, COLORADO. she made nasty comments about the hotel accomodatons on her way through there in June and then had the audicity to mention the smell of cow shit bothering her, not only in Colorado but in Kansas where cattle are raised to support the community. Sorry for the smell Opie but such is life.
Id like to know who wipes her butt when she has a bowel movement, surely she doesnt. Just my honest opinion. thanks a bunch
Jerry in Commerce City, Colorado USA.
Kirk Crespin says
Thank you Jerry Carpenter for metnioning Oprahs terrible comments about Lamar, Colorado!!!
We have a great community and our leaders have invited her back to see what we have to offer. Their hopes were to have the opportunity to see that there is more to Lamar Colorado than what she portrayed in such a terrible way… I’d be very impressed if she did – However, I guaranty she wouldn’t dare have the time for that type of effort.
She talks so much about staying in touch with the people, caring for one another and being supporting to them… but our community has lost manufacturing jobs, been hit by drought and has seen our population and revenue drop in the past few years.
Agriculture is an important part of our community – our city leaders are trying to encourage new business and industries to our area to help our hard working people! Comments and assumptions like the ones that she made were uncalled for and detretmental to our efforts! I wished that she would be more considerate and less judgemental on her travels!!!

After the snows in December of ’06 that carried on through March of ’07, and after the recent tornado in Holly…does anyone here give a damn that Oprah’s nasal passages were offended? Remember, this is a woman (in a loose interpretation of the word) who self-admittedly put a lot of cocaine through her nose. We’ve got much to offer here and if Orca can’t see that, good riddance. I don’t think any of us would want her and her live-in as our neighbors.
Tonia Samples says
Thank god there are still some people out in the world with there own sanity about this woman. She has wayyy tooo mucch power. I connot respect a woman who will BASH not just a political stand point but the overall VIEW of supporting and I quote ” OUR MILITARY SERVICES” yea you herd me she believes that our goverment spends too much money on the very services that are there to protect us when needed………no im not talking about this war either. Id like to know what she would do if all the sudden all HER MONEY went bye bye and she had to be a rehular BLACK woman again what would she say or do then HUH??? LOL Cow shit hmmm well maybe she ought to stick and airwick refill stick up her nose the next time she comes to the midwest!!!!
Ian Boyd says
I haven’t had the pleasure to hear the radio show, thank God. I think it’s now time Oprah retired. She has become very boring and her tv talk show is so self obsessed, it is so embarassing at times. I think she has lost the plot!
The Paris boutique incident was a disgrace. Oprah Winfery’s PR team really went into over drive. Making out that the staff were rude and racist towards her. However, when you heard the real story. Well, what can you say? I get so angry when black folks play the race card, when they don’t get what they want.
No, I think now she should go, when her career is still intact. Even my wife thinks that and she loves Oprah, or I should say, did.
George says
I thought it was just great that the French department store turned the “Queen of Everything” and her stooge away. Hello, it was after hours!!! People had to prove their departments’ total figures for the day. People wanted to go home, eat and be with their families.
I would have liked to be a fly on the window of their limo. Could you imagine the egotistical banter as they sipped their champagne cocktails on the way? “GIRL, we are going to give them such a thrill when they see US!!!”
Or some condescending dialogue like that.
imhere says

ron holmes says
