Oprah Winfrey New York, Dec 4 (ANI): Oprah Winfrey is not going to host her own talk show on OWN, her new cable network launching in 2011.

Winfrey announced last month she’s leaving “Oprah” in Sept. 2011 to focus on OWN, which will launch in January of that year.

However, the network’s CEO, Christina Norman has denied reports that the talk show queen would be launching her own new show.

“Her show as you know it is not coming to OWN,” the New York Post quoted Norman as telling USA Today.

“She’s going to have a significant presence on this network,” but won’t be doing a cable version of “Oprah”.

“Pieces of that show ['Oprah'] we’re going to want to find ways to retain, but I don’t think the format exists in anyone’s mind right now,” she added.

The new network has announced only a few shows hosted by “Oprah” regular Lisa Ling, sex therapist Laura Berman, Winfrey’s pal Gayle King and professional organizer Peter Walsh (”Clean Sweep”), who’s also an ‘Oprah’ regular.

Winfrey herself will narrate a profile series called ‘Master Class’. (ANI)
