So Oprah has announced an end to her talk show. The Billion Dollar hostess/media mogul is setting her sights on a cable network. Wonder why she has not sewn up the online assets yet? Seems shortsighted but this is typical in main-stream business. Looks like some folks have some money to be made. Here is a nice little tidbit of domain interest.

From New York Times: After her broadcast talk show winds down, Ms. Winfrey will concentrate on her coming cable channel, OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. OWN will have its premiere in January 2011, according to a person with knowledge of Ms. Winfrey’s decision who insisted on anonymity.

Although it does look like she has secured TheOprahWinfreyNetwork.com and OprahWinfreyNetwork.com (Very long–I had to retype the first one three times to get it right) She might want to get on her online strategy and extend and improve her brand!
