Oprah Winfrey (63) will join CBS '60-minute news magazine program.
CBS said Monday that Winfrey will be a special commentator in the "60 Minute" news magazine program every Sunday from September.
Jeff Fegger, executive producer of the program, said in a statement, "She has done a brilliant achievement in various fields and has interviewed thousands of people who say that they are all around the world." "Only one person is Oprah Winfrey."
"I expect that Winfrey will be one of the 'personalized moderators' that will make the 60-minute program stand out," he said. "I expect she will deliver a unique and powerful voice through this program."
Winfrey said she was honored to embark on the program, saying she was a worshiper of "60 minutes" from the moment she first set foot as a broadcaster.
In fact, she has worked at a radio station in Nashville, Tennessee, as a high school student, and at the age of 19 she has started a joint news caster for evening news.
In 1983, Winfrey turned to Chicago's most popular talk show in just a month, with a 30-minute morning talk show, "AM Chicago."
This was the opportunity to turn into 'Oprah Winfrey Show'. The Oprah Winfrey Show stood at number one on CBS from 1986 to May 2011.
In January 2011, he established the cable channel 'Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN)', a joint venture with Discovery Channel at his Harpo Corporation. Beginning January 2012, OWN will host a new talk show called 'Oprah Next Chapter'.
Winfrey won the 2005 International Emmy Award for Broadcast and the Lifetime Achievement Award for the Academy Awards in 2012.
