adfad· With only 16 months until Oprah Winfrey ends her syndicated talk show, she is vowing to find the next big television personality via a Mark Burnett-produced reality competition on the Oprah Winfrey Network. The series, Your Own Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star, will launch in January at the same time as the cable venture. Aspiring hosts can upload their own audition videos to Oprah.com. Burnett has already compared the concept to Fox's lucrative franchise: "Much in the way American Idol finds unknown people (to be recording stars) there's no reason we can't find someone who deserves their own show." Good luck, everyone! [AP]
