What the Man Who Dated Oprah and Talked Her Into Entering Syndication Thinks Chicago Sun-Times

Veteran film critic Roger Ebert, who at one time dated Oprah Winfrey and claims to have influenced her decision to accept an offer for a syndicated show, has made an educated guess in the Chicago Sun-Times about what her next move might be.

Ebert thinks the talk-show queen will be on her OWN cable network, syndicate overseas, have same-day reruns, stream on the Internet and have an online archive of past shows.

"This move doesn't require a rocket scientist to explain it. She knows as much about TV as anyone alive," Ebert said
