As the longest running daytime television talk show in America, and the highest rated talk show in all of television history, the Oprah Winfrey Show has become a staple of popular culture since its debut on September 8, 1986. Now in its 21st season, the Oprah Winfrey Show’s popularity is such that it has been renewed to run until 2011, which will put it on the air for a quarter of a century.

The Chicago-based series has become a highly influential medium for change. With topics that cover everything from fitness and health to more serious social problems affecting the nation and the world, host Oprah Winfrey has tried over the years to differentiate her show from the other more sensationalistic talk shows on TV.

In the beginning, the broadcast was just like the rest – adultery, paternity tests, dieting and the like were a large extent of its programs. Today, the show generally takes a more positive and uplifting strategy, encouraging the personal and spiritual growth of its viewers, both male and female. While still controversial at times, the show has made it its purpose to tackle more difficult and pressing issues.

The hour-long Oprah Winfrey Show is thus divided into a number of different segments, which include a book club series, celebrity interviews, segments on self-improvement featuring everyone from doctors to therapists to athletes, and more philanthropic attempts to bring into focus important events occurring around the world. As a result of its coverage on such a wide range of topics that affect everyone, the Oprah Winfrey Show and its host have both won numerous Emmy Awards. The success of the Oprah Winfrey Show has also consistently landed Oprah on the Forbes list of the World’s Richest People, and has made her the United States’ first African-American billionaire.

In recent years, television has become just one component of the program. In addition to her book club, Oprah has launched the charitable Angel network and Oprah Winfrey Foundation, a new radio channel, and her own O Magazine, all of which are under the control of Harpo Productions, the company she founded early on in her career.

The show also now has a formidable presence on the Internet, with its own website at Oprah.com. Here, in addition to providing recaps of the show, visitors can find everything from cooking and home decorating tips to expert advice and inspirational stories. Similar to the series, the website is interactive and allows for much visitor participation through the likes of online workbooks, message boards and photo albums. Videos of the series, as well as its special Oprah After the Show segment that airs on Oxygen Network, can both be found on its website.

The Oprah Winfrey Show is taped in front of a live studio audience. Free tickets to attend a taping, as well as transcripts and tapes of the show are available for purchase from its website.
