Oprah’s ‘Next Chapter’ Draws 1.1 Million Viewers
 
By BRIAN STELTER, NY Times
 
Oprah Winfrey is back on television with a new talk show. But some of her fans don’t seem to know.
 
The premiere of “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” the once-a-week successor to her five-day-a-week “Oprah Winfrey Show,” drew an average of 1.1 million total viewers for two showings on cable Sunday night, far fewer than the six million to eight million that had watched her previous talk show on local TV stations each weekday.
 
Ms. Winfrey ended “The Oprah Winfrey Show” last May in order to concentrate on OWN, which is short for the Oprah Winfrey Network. Since then, viewers have been awaiting her next talk show, which she called “Oprah’s Next Chapter.”
 
The first “Chapter” was shown on Jan. 1, exactly a year after OWN was started. The episode was a two-hour interview and visit with Steven Tyler, the lead singer in the band Aerosmith. Future episodes will be one hour long.

A conservative vegetarian will eat his vegetables and leave you alone. A liberal vegetarian will eat his and then demand that you only eat vegetables, too. And this is one of the big differences between liberals and conservatives across the board
