Oprah Winfrey Inks Content Deal With Apple

She will continue to serve as chairman and CEO of Discovery-backed cable network OWN.

In the war for talent, Apple has just scored a major victory.

The tech giant and eventual streamer has inked a multiple-year content partnership with Oprah Winfrey. Under the pact, terms of which were not immediately available, Winfrey and Apple will create original content that will be released as part of the latter's lineup of content.

Sources say the pact includes everything from film, TV, applications, books and other content that could easily be distributed on Apple's all-encompassing platform. (The deal does not include podcasts, as Winfrey has her own platform for that.) Sources note that Winfrey landed at Apple in a competitive situation with other tech giants, likely including Netflix and Amazon, all pursuing similar deals. Apple is said to have aggressively pursued Winfrey as part of a larger push to reach a broad audience.

Somebody must feel like they need a BET award of some sort. These assclowns are insufferable. Just another chapter to add to "Life Ain't Fair."

Her most recent movie bombed big time at the box office. Disney made ANOTHER mistake by using her as a headliner. She is box office poison.

So, Apple joined up with a racist who said all old white people should die. Nice.

Her channel has below 1.0 in ratings. No one in their right mind would hire her. Oh wait...

I don't know about that: her bra-fitting shows were full of good tips.
