Oprah Winfrey, the queen of … well, everything… is moving into her next venture – getting her own TV network.

Not content until she rules the universe, Oprah is partnering with Discovery Communications to create the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). The OWN will replace Discovery Health network.

According to David Zaslav, Discovery Communications chief, “The focus of the channel will be the focus of Oprah’s brand, which is to educate and inspire people to live the best life they can.”

Seriously, what doesn’t Oprah have her hands in these days? Talk show, magazine, Internet, politics, television network… the only place we haven’t seen Oprah is in sports. Maybe Oprah could buy a football team next?
