Oprah Launches YouTube Channel

I don't know how many Oprah Winfrey fans actually read this blog, but I'm sure there is a few. That few may like to know that the talkshow superstar has launched her own channel on YouTube. The Oprah Show will feature some of the best clips from the televised talkshow, but the majority of the content will center around backstage footage not typically seen on TV.

Winfrey says that the purpose of the online channel is to increase community engagement in the talkshow by utilizing the already huge YouTube community with the ultimate goal of interest in the show increasing. Also, November 6, The Oprah Winfrey Show will be featuring YouTube creators Chad Hurley and Steve Chen along with some of the self-made YouTube superstars of the past couple of years.
