Oprah Winfrey's Biography

Television Programming Creator

In September 2002, Harpo Productions, Inc. created Dr. Phil, a syndicated daytime talk show produced by Peteski Productions in association with CBS Television Distribution. Dr. Phil, which had the highest-rated talk show launch since The Oprah Winfrey Show, consistently ranks second among all U.S. talk shows.

Dynamic television personality and best-selling author Rachael Ray announced a partnership with Harpo Productions, Inc, King World Productions (now CBS Television Group), and Scripps Networks to host a daily, one-hour, talk show that began airing in September 2006.

Oprah’s Big Give, the first primetime series created by Harpo Productions, Inc.’s television development group, premiered in March 2008 on the ABC Television Network. The episodes centered on the competition, drama and emotion as millions of dollars were given away to make a difference in people’s lives across the country. Oprah’s Big Give was produced by Harpo Productions in conjunction with Profiles Television Productions, LLC.  

The Dr. Oz Show, a daily one-hour talk show starring “Oprah” health expert and best-selling author Dr. Mehmet Oz, premiered in syndication on Monday, September 14, 2009.  The series is co-produced by Harpo Productions and Sony Pictures Television, which distributes the program.
